One thing I've noticed at least in usage of the exts is that Asian countries favor .net while the US favors .org. This is judged by the fact that there are nearly twice as many .org as .net in Quantcast's top million while in Alexa's top million there's considerably more .net, and most of the high .net's I've seen are Asian language sites.
It's hard to know whether SEO could be similarly affected, but Google surely has more information on what visitors in particular areas prefer than anyone else out there and could likely factor that into their algorithm.
