I prefer firstnamelastname@domain.com. So many people ask over the phone if this or that is a capital letter, its easier to say its all lower case.

Re. email addresses for groups or roles:
I advise not using a common word such as sales@, info@ etc.
Spammers use whois to obtain a list all doman names, they send spam to all the common words @allnames. Instead I recommend companies invent their own less usual words like teamhelp@...

Here is a list of the common words (I am aware of) that spammers are sending to:
- info@
- sales@
- contact@
- root@
- home@
- contacts@
- enquiries@
- webmaster@
