The Best Domain Extension...Does It Exist?

What is the best domain extension? It's a fight that's gone on amongst SEO professionals and webmasters for years. So, what's your opinion, based on your own experiences? Does .com really have the edge, or are all domains created equal? Argue here!

The Argument... 

There are currently dozens of domain name TLDs out there. You know the drill... .com, .net, .org... .biz, .mobi, .tv, .info... then there's .cc, .co.uk, .ws, .name, and the list keeps going and going. If you're missed the boat on a .com or .net, and can't afford to win a domain auction for a short, catchy name - there are tons of other options available, if you can snag them with another extension.

However, some people insist that the originals: .com, .net and .org take precedence and receive move search engine favoritism than the rest. Is it true? Can a .us, .biz or .cc not achieve the same rankings as a .com? Is it all a myth, or has anyone actually proven this with an all-inclusive test?

Your opinion?! 

Do domain names rank differently?

I agree, they do!

HELP ME PROVE MY POINT 

Believe in domain name favoritism? Back it up with links or other proof!

Add a link that proves how domain names are judged and ranked based on their extensions!

DISPROVE MY POINT 

Do you think all domains have an equal chance? Post a link to an article proving so!

If domains are all ranked equally on search engines, prove it by posting links to articles and tests on this subject!
