What's your opinion on using .com or .co.uk for a small business.

if your business is aimed at the uk market then .co.uk
If world wide then you should go for .com
Search engines will usually (but not always) display the most prominent from which country you are searching on to the country domain.

For eg do a google on "kitz" and it will show this site as the top result.  However if searching from the states or google.com it will bring up kitz.com as no 1.

However... if both are available.. I'd buy them both.  You can then always point the .com to the co.uk site or vice versa.

You will also find that .co.uk domains are cheaper and more value for money than .com domains.

For example, with Vidahost, my .co.uk domain for 2years was: £5.73

whereas if I were to register the .com domain for 2years, it would cost £12.98
