Domain Name Importance
Say i have a business called "RH Upholstery".
With a view to SEO and particularly google rankings, assuming i want to rank for Upholstery, am i better off with www.rh-upholstery.com rather than www.rhupholstery.com ?

I go for rhuphostery.com, it is easy to remember and type in the browser. It makes your site more memorable to visitors.

I'd buy both. Generally, I wouldn't bother with the hyphenated version unless the domain sounds generic (so that someone else doesn't get their hands on it). But in your case, rhupholstery.com (to me) comes off as a bit difficult to disassemble into separate words and then remember.
So, if you own both the versions, you can put up a logo saying RH-Upholstery or something like that, so people can better understand the word, as opposed to putting RHUpholstery (looks unnatural). And whether or not people type the hyphen, they will end up at the same place (if you redirect one version to the other), so there's no loss of traffic for you.
