.com Is Better?
I know I have posted this before but I'm about to spend allot of money on optimization. I'm debating on transferring my site to a .com name. I've done searches for a multitude of keywords and all I see is .org and .com

Now if I move my site will I get busted for duplicate content since my .info will have the same content as my .com?

You won't get a duplicate content issue if you actually move it, not having the same content on two individual domains.

So I would have to take down the other domain name with the same content? What if I do a redirection to the new site with the old domain name? I'm using Godaddy to redirect the traffic from my old site to my new site.

Yes, redirecting should be perfectly fine

A permanent 301 redirect should remedy your problem.
