Should i buy domain name with .net extension?

I want to buy a domain for my new website. The domain is available as .net (.com is already taken).
That domain with .com extension is registered in 2003 and is not popular. Even no alexa rank, not google search result, no google PR.
The name available as .net is good. So, should I go for .net or find something another?
Also please tell the drawbacks of .net over .com..
