I think it's shorter the list of TLDs people might actually appreciate.

com/(net)/org are clearly the dominant trio.

National TLDs in countries with a culture of using them: co.uk, .de, .se, etc

National TLDs which have been rebranded and in some places are 'cool':

io - popular with startups/tech

vc - popular with finance/money

co - for people who can't afford an 'M'

ai - for AI

gg - popular with gaming

sh - popular with hackers

New gTLDs, these mostly haven't gotten any traction.

xyz - One of the hotter ones at the moment seems to be xyz. Alphabet (Google) is using it. Would you believe it if I told you there's been 5m in sales compared to .net's 3.4m sales in the past year?
