Default .com vs .net variation
The .com version of the domain I want is already registered so my next best options are

1. ABC-Company.com
2. ABCCompany.net

Which according to you shall i go for and which is more valuable?

I would suggest you to go for .net. Also I think .net would be more valuable than the hyphenated .com, a hyphen does reduce the value of a domain to some extent.

IMHO ABCCompany.net sounds better.

To know the pros and cons of hyphenated domain name refer the below link
Hyphenated or non-hyphenated domains?

Try and avoid the domain with the hyphen, off the two choices go for the .net or look for an alternative .com without the hyphen.

NordComputer, can you elaborate on why would you choose the hyphenated .com over the non hyphenated .net?
