Any strong opinions against either or at this point most people are used to having so many variants?

I think it depends, you probably don't want a .co when there is another .com with the same name and people will get confused. For now .co and other alternative domains seem to work best when it's a short one or two word domain and the suffix almost becomes part of the brand or business name.

If you decide to go down the ".co" route...try combining a domain name with the .co extension, I find these domain names both interesting and memorable.
Examples:
Fias.co
Magnifi.co
Sympati.co

Do you really need to be a citizen of Canada to purchase a ".CA" domain name, really?

It doesn't matter, relevant content does.
- Sure it matters!

- you prob don't even have a domain or a relevant domain.utopian

- BTW, "relevant domain" doesn't mean anything. You could be called xvtfggdgfg.com or xxxxhgfffgghh.co and rank for any keywords as long asdrake-von-drake
- the onsite content suffices and the continual optimization of that content against algorithmic rules.drake-von-drake

- You're right that it doesn't affect SEO, never did, but I think question was more about credibility and how it looks to customersyuekit

.co is faster to type than the .com names.
- Not if you use ctrl+enter to wrap your url with www. and .com in the address bar it isn't.detritus

.co names are much smaller between 8 bits (1 byte) and 32 bits (4 bytes) than .com names

finding a good .com is difficult anymore, it becomes even more taxing when acquiring the social media accounts to accompany it.
i recently had this issue myself.
the .com and .net versions of my url were taken, but going unused, so I don't fear any SEO problems once everything begins.
i also bought a corresponding .com of the same name but with a word spelled instead of being referenced by a single character.
i decided to buy the .com as an addition to the .co that I will be promoting and centering business around.
the .com will never be referenced and will forward to the .co if anyone ever tries it by chance.
I also purchased the .co to match the .com which also forwards to the intended .co in case anyone ever tries to spell out the work which is referenced by the single character.
so my domain is XXXXX.co
I bought XXXXXX.com and XXXXXX.co to forward to XXXXX.co
