Would you chose a "-" .com or a .biz?

Okay, so your required business keyword name is not available in a .com (surprise, surprise!), but it is available in a hyphenated .com or a .biz, so what do you do?

Do you chose my-business.com or mybusiness.biz ? (No other options like "chose a different name" please!)

An option in life is always ..."I don't accept the choices". In my opinion, to choose from the above choices is getting the short end of the stick either way.

In my world, .biz is not even an option. The key to the puzzle is changing the available choices.

PS.. of course the above depends on if you are in the domain business, or just playing domains.
PPS.. no dreamers were hurt in the preparation of this post.

I would say that it depends of the public you target...
Anyway, i would register the two extensions
And of course it's always better to have its own non-hyphenated .com so i would think about changing the name...

Always .com.. but then again i wouldnt register a domain with - in it unless it had some very nice characteristics to go with it that suited perfectly.
