Depends if the other one is a Registered Trademark or just a generic keyword.

It depends on the keyword that your are going to use... But IMO, if you use plural form, you're targeting both versions of the keyword

sorry but I disagree with jeany - there is no target of keywords in a domain name - plural or singular.
I am not being rude Jeany - I too was questing this recently and it was pointed out to me that some of the biggies online have nothing to do with their product - such as dell etc. I was also showed how a domain name means little if anything as far as keywords go.
However g1smd is correct - if you buy a plural or singular domain name of a registered trademark, you will be in major deep waters in many areas.

beth, I guess jeany is talking from Domaining point of view and NOT from SEO point of view. People who live on Domaining income, give high importance to keywords in domain name.

"Domaining is the business of buying, selling, developing and monetizing Internet domain names... There is sometimes no actual intent to use any of the domain names with the exception of generating advertising revenue through domain parking."
