I would prefer to build on a good .com over a great .net etc... as any developing you do will only generate type in traffic for the .com holder so your work benefits them or causes confusion as .com is the most recognized, promoted and has a higher trust factor. If it was a premium one word alternate extension then I would consider it but if it's a 2-3 word domain .com is the only extension I develop. You can get anything to rank with good SEO but even if the advantage a .com holds is only a small advantage I prefer to take any advantage I can get as it just makes things easier. I have hundreds of domains parked, about 100 turned into niche product stores, 3 white labels and 6 fully developed sites and when I compare my brandable domains and alternate extension domains versus dead on keyword .com domains my earnings through adsense, cj.com, linkshare.com, shopping.com, parking programs and various white label programs earnings always favor the keyword .com domains even when zero promotion is done as the keywords do get a trickle of natural type in traffic so although the keyword .com domains may cost a bit more to acquire they usually come with a trickle of type in traffic that continues each month so it counters the initial acquisition cost.
