What is the better choice?...

A) AcmeGarageDoors.com and $44,000 in local advertising

B) GarageDoorRepair.com

I'd go with B if a long term business plan as [Garage Door Repair] has 27,100 "exact" searches per month with high competition so for someone buying clicks in google buying killer domains makes more sense as after the initial cost is paid then your basically looking at just registration fee per year so long term domain is a better buy.

Could build a new site on it, redirect it to your existing garage door business or build a directory and categorize by state and charge monthly fees to advertisers as you already know with high competiton for the term very expensive for them to play the google game and with a nice designed directory, good seo, killer domain should be a nice business.

I have bought domains for a few busineses in the 1-5k range and built simple pages for them and the leads do flow on keyword generics with minimal work.
