My personial thoughts on domain names
examplepages.com is worth more then example-pages.com
but then which is better for resaults if you were searching for example pages I think the best thing to do is get bouth and use the example-pages as a pointer but I COULD BE WRONG what would be the best domain name for top resaults on the search example pages

I must agree with you, I prefer seeing domains without the hyphen (-), but for search result efficency it doesn't make a difference. The search engine scans for the completed word, so whether it's www.example-pages.com or www.examplepages.com the search engine can still see the complete word example.
In some cases having a domain name without the (-) can mislead or confuse people as to what it is meant to mean. I think you should use a domain without the hyphen, unless it is misleading. It really won't make a difference in the search engine rankings, what they mostly look at is the content of your site anyway. META tags are the key.
