A lot of google spammers seem to favor .us and other oddball top level domains. Generally .com is by far the best for branding memorability or type-in traffic, but I don't think non-dot-coms are penalized by google or other SEs. In fact there may be some advantage to them, based on their being used by google spammers a lot. Not sure what the advantage would be, maybe google can't get whois info on them as easily or something, if that's a factor in their SE spam detection algorithm.
