It seems to me that .com extension is google friendly. It is the most reputable extension in the world. Most of the people prefer .com extension.

Yeah .com extension is preferable, but what about .net extension. I think it's too great.

Absolutely agree with you.
.net extension has got good reputation too.
And what about .mobi extension? How do find it?

.mobi extension seems to be attractive too.
But I prefer .com, .net and .eu extensions.
.com extension is the most popular nowadays.

I also like .mobi extension. I even register it for one of my sites, as it seems to me that I should differentiate my sites somehow.
