Info@, Contact@ Or...

After reading the discussion posted today by Lady Isabella - "Emails - Free Or Not So Free" - http://fineartamerica.com/showmessages.php?messageid=2493689

I wanted to ask a question to those people who recommend using a domain email as it appears more professional to a potential client: What word do prefer to use for your own domain email, or see on another artist's domain email?

Do you prefer:

info@domain.com
contact@domain.com
email@domain.com
admin@domain.com
artist@domain.com
support@domain.com
*artist forename*@domain.com
*artist surname*
etc...

I am thinking about getting a domain email for my website - www.conorobrienart.com. I like 'contact' but apparently emails like that, and 'info', are more prone to spammers targeting that domain, so now I am leaning towards conor@conorobrienart.com, obrien@conorobrienart.com or cob@conorobrienart.com

Do you have any advice or preference in this situation?

it depends. usually you use different surnames if you want to know where they came from. some people use different first names. like if you wanted someone to contact you from this place you may use ConorF or something like that.

basic names like contact are probably best for a webpage because its a good default. i usually use my name. but you can make a batch of names if you want.
