Which of these domains would you choose?

How do you go about selecting a domain for an SEO niche blog?

How do you get the balance between being keyword rich, generating search traffic & also being user friendly / credible to visitors?

I'm creating a niche blog to help promote a new product I'm working on.

My plan is to write SEO articles to get long tail keyword traffic.

There are no really good exact match domains left in this niche but I found these.

Obviously I can't reveal the actual domains, but which would you choose and why based on these stats from the Google Keyword Tool?

NB: Other stats are very similar for all of them - competition has aged domains with lots of indexed pages, but not specifically good on page optimisation for these keywords (title, url, header etc.)

I have given the stats for the actual domain and the keyword contained within the domain.
