The way to look at hyphen domains is that for the same price, you can get a much better term in the domain than you would for a non-hyphened - essentially the same way you'd look at a .net or .org vs. .com. Given that and given they don't seem to hurt SEO much if at all, developers looking primarily to SEO whatever they get as their main source of traffic love hyphen domains.

For a professional biz, you should almost always get an unhyphened .com, and honestly if you're serious about it, you should buy a better one on the secondary market vs. registering, even if it's a couple g's or more. It's more than worth it to set yourself apart from the crowd plus you're not stuck with a brand new name that Google wouldn't be too fond of. For throwing up minisites/blogs/etc. that aren't your primary business and utilizing SEO, then hyphen domains are worth looking at IMO to get the better term in the domain for the price.
