I think ccTLD is certainly a better investment choice than .net no matter how the alias thing go. Even in ascii world, .net is not very strong although it is considered by many as the best alternative to .com. When it becomes the third best choice in IDN, few end users would want to buy them.

This is really personal judgment and choice. From my experience, I think right now it is a great time to buy very good names other than register "good" names. You have to aim for at least $10,000 a name in 3 to 5 years considering all the uncertainties and the high risk of domain names. I have dropped hundreds of names, which I thought would bring me back at least $1000 each in 3-5 years. With the saved renewal fees, I bought some very good and even premium names. Now my portfolio is much smaller but much better quality. I do not have any pressure from renewal. I can buy more names and start to develop a few of them.
Just do not want to see people repeat my mistake. Anyway, if you have strong faith in your judgment, go for it and good luck!
