.com and .net are my favourite but if you're in the UK .uk should be good for you

Yes it affects your SEO and ranking. If have a chance to choose related TLDs then definitely go for it.

The choice of domain extension (TLD) can have some impact on SEO, but it's generally not a major factor. Among the options you mentioned, ".org.uk" is associated with organizations in the United Kingdom, ".pro" is often used for licensed professionals, ".online" is versatile, and ".live" and ".blog" suggest specific content types.
Consider the nature of your website or business. If it's UK-centric, ".org.uk" might be suitable. If you're a professional, ".pro" could work. ".online" is flexible and can be used for various purposes. ".live" and ".blog" are specific and can convey the type of content you offer. Ultimately, choose a TLD that aligns with your brand and content, and focus on providing quality content for better SEO and traffic.

no, but you should stay away from location based domains, because when you decide to scale it into other locations, you'll have serious problems.

It shouldn't be a blanket statement that they have no effect at all, Country TLD's will give you more prominence in that country's serps, and it could potentially make it harder to win a slot in another country when someone has the related country tld from the searcher's intent (thats not to say you cant). But handicaps are nice. Otherwise, all those new-fangled domains seem to all be about equall with .com, i still prefer .com though. Also a lot of them are cheap for quick test projects but renew higher than a .com would.

"In my experience" tlds affect seo only in the first months. This is only related to your case since you have competitors on the brand. If they have brand.com and you have brand.xyz I don't think you can outrank them easily using that extension, I think you got the idea
Also stay away from Radix extensions, .tech .site.... those get instantly locked after 1 single report or if they just got listed on spamhaus. So even a false report by your competitor will take it down easily. "There's techniques for that"
Here's the best tlds I pick for such situations "I've tested hundreds of domains"
.com .net .org .cc .io .ai
If those extension where taken by someone using the same brand, I just go with .com and add a letter to the domain name
competitor : brandname.com
Mine : brandnames.com or brand-name.com.....
I hope it helps

My theory with this is: when you have a good website about your brand, business or as a life coach you can use a TLD like .blog.
So within few months on social media users knowing your name, typing it in google, your .blog TLD will stand out in the serps , because the others all have a .com or .net domain, so you stand out with that .blog domain, or .site, .online, news,. store, .marketing, .consulting, .....etc,etc..... in the end this will give you a ctr boost.
On the other side it's so stupid users behaviors, our brain many thaousand years of evolution, is not able to memorize if a domain is johns.blog or johns.com ? Come on........I will not believe that we live now in 21 century folks !
Happy Sunday !
