BenB.co.uk for me out of those 3 mate.

BenB is the eye and mind catcher

BenBroadhurst.com or something totally different. Had Bens-Blog.co.uk been unhyphenated, I'd have voted for that. But from those 3 choices, the .com is the only one that makes sense...

I agree with Edwin, a .com would have a more universal appeal and
easier to sell if it became huge.
Bensb.com is free to reg , 5-letter .coms might even be worth something
in 2020
Cheers,
Mark.

What's the blog going to be about and what are its aims?

BenBroadhurst.com is probably easier to get recognition for. The Ben B term is catchy but you've already got a fair bit of competition there.

I don't really like bens-blog, too vague.

Thanks for all the comments and votes so far

... and easier to sell if it became huge.

Not worried about selling it on, it's my name!

What's the blog going to be about and what are its aims?

Will be my personal blog.

don't like any of them tbh.

I suggest Benwrote.com or Ihaveakeyboard.com both ftr

If you need to rank in the search engines for searches on your name (eg because of prospective employers Googling you, because of the need to sell your expertise, etc) then fullname.com is good. If it's only family/friends reading it, then the name doesn't matter.

Definitely go with your full name, I do like benb as it's short and easy but bens-blog no thanks !

Good luck 8)

Another alternative is to buy bb.co.uk from the mummynet auction, if you can!

I voted BenBroadhurst.com . I think it makes sense to use your name. Easier to search for etc.
