If I will get a choice to select from .com, .edu or .gov inbound link and all things were equal,but I'd select the .edu and .gov over the .com any day. From my point of view, they do have a different value in the overall scheme of things. They are trusted TLDs (Top Level Domains)and not everyone can get one like the .com, .net, .org TLDs. A link from a .edu or .gov site is going to have more weight than one from a .com site in general. Now, if the .com is an authority site, then things get a little tricky in determining which would be better. But don't worry about it. If you can get legitimate .edu and .gov links, definitely get them.
