What’s the best personal email address if the domain is already my first name?

Pretend my name is John; I own the domain name john.me. I will be using this domain for a portfolio site, to host small projects, etc.

When setting up the email server I thought through some ideas for my email address and, honestly, none seemed too appealing:

• admin@john.me seems like it's for inquires relating to the website itself`
• contact@john.me seems weird and not used often
• john@john.me seems overly redundant, strikes me as odd
• me@john.me seems too playful

Am I better off using a known provider such as @gmail.com or @yahoo.com?

What email address should I use which is consistent, less likely to be forgotten, and the least confusing for clients, employers, and anyone emailing me?
