Domain Experts, please step inside

I'm trying to decide which DOMAIN to get

I've got my eye on ARTOF**********.com but I'm torn between that and THEARTOF**********.com

I think both are BRANDABLE but which one should I build the site on and which should I just REDIRECT?

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Whenever I see a request for 'experts' in anything, I always have to chime even, just to feel important, even if Im talking shit, BUT...

For once, I may have a useful piece of input based on one of the most successful sites on the planet...

Facebook. It was originally gonna be called TheFacebook.com however Mark was persuaded to drop the 'the'... Of course, he owns them both, but THEfacebook.com redirects to facebook.com, so if dropping the 'the' is good enough for him... Then...

It really doesn't matter you have chosen to brand but I suggest both if you do. The names you have chosen won't bring you traffic you will have to work for it like other branded sites. I would suggest you pay what ever you need to for generic if you want a true start.

These day domain name doesn’t matter any more.
