I'm no expert but i would say that the domain without the hyphen would be worth more. Assuming that the domains were undeveloped.

If I was the 1st to reg www.xxxyyy.co.uk,
I would take www.xxx-yyy too, but it's just me,
I like domains that "look" good

You need both really yourdomain.co.uk and your-domain.co.uk

The problem is the one without the hyphen is often taken first !

yep.. and it won't belong before you need the double hyphen
your--domain.co.uk as well.. already seeing a few uk ones popping up...
spammers & adsense junkies love them.. multi hyphenated keyword domains.. not much cop for company branding though..
