Default Best urls for SEO

I reciently put a new URL system into effect for my magazine and while it shot me from 6 to 7, I'm wondering if it can be done better. The original urls were like this:
http://www.fusionauthority.com/Techn...ArticleID:4588
The new urls are set up like this:
http://www.fusionauthority.com/Techn...4588-Vy-a-Duck
Removing the articles.cfm and everything after it in order to have the article title on the url was great. I can also do it like this:
http://www.fusionauthority.com/Techn...-Vy-a-Duck.htm

Which is better? With or without the .htm extension?

Doesnt matter.

What ever you do, if your URLs change make sure you let the search engines know through 301 redirects.
