Nowadays you have lots more options if the .com has been taken, so I don't know the answer either.. I would think .biz or .info would be at least as good as a .net for a second choice.

Let's see if someone knows...
i've allways had doubts about .info and .biz, i don't know if its the case but i wouldn't be suprised if google marks down for a info or biz in its algo. so many spam sites are on .biz and .info it would make sense if that was the case. if the .com's not available i would allways go for .net next.
