Which one would have the best SEO score?

Let`s say I want to buy the domain blablah .com but is unavailable. Should I buy instead blahblahblah .com or blahblah .net or blablah. org? Which one would have the best click through rate and seo score?

Stockbridge Truslow: CTR would vary based upon a lot of factors.

Domains themselves have no "SEO Score" that is inherent, so everything is basically the same.
Josh Levenson: This is a marketing question, not an SEO question. All else equal, they`d be all the same to search engines.
James Slattery: Id go with something diff & if u stay on that name make sure it`s not infringing on a protected name
Ammon Johns: Search engines have no preference, no bonus or anything for any one TLD over any other. Not even for the newer ones, if you happen to fancy blahblah .ninja for some strange reason.

That said, people often do have preferences or just assumptions about some TLDs, and it is people who will be doing brand searches, people who will decide whether to link or not, and people who may remember the blahblah brand but not the TLD and guess the wrong one.
