hyphen or no hypen in domain name - GoFuckYourself.com

If a surfer sees the exact same domain name, one with a hyphen and one without, which one is more likely to get typed in the address bar?

I mean, let's say horny-babes.com vs. hornybabes.com

Search engines see the hyphen as a space, that's one advantage.

Branded under hyphen name for the search engines, since it has a keyword too.

hyphen for search engine optimization.
no hyphen for better branding.
