the reg fee is a moot point.. most of the time you just don't have that option. the .com simply isn't for sale.. you would have a hard time finding "keyword.com" domains for under 5 figures..

its rather hard to surmise that unless you have keyword.com and keyword.info and drive same traffic to it etc
keyword.com will always trump keyword.anything for type-ins , type-ins arent everything and .xxx isn't any other tld . xxx describes what you are after , so it will have a big effect on serps.. serps are god here
search for "gay xxx" gay.xxx is top10 on a brand new domain with no backlinks

great points but we aren't arguing which is better , .com will always be better. What i am saying is it may be more cost effective to buy highheels.xxx for $100 and spend $15,000 on traffic and advertising than spend $15,000 for highheels.com for a couple type-ins
