Your email address should be right at the top of your cover letter and resume so it is bound to get noticed. Today it is very difficult for most people to get their own name at any major email service, making your own domain advantageous. Plus, having your own domain may make you appear more tech savvy than other applicants. I have various domains I use for various things, and I have had people comment on my email address when in interviews. With job applications the first step is to get noticed so you don't immediately get filed in the reject pile. Generally your cover letter is skimmed before your resume is looked at. Make your letter really good and your name, address, and email address will almost always be read before anything else. Of course, large companies ignore everything and feed it all into a computer that makes the first cuts.
