IMO I'd start with a 20g Long OR bigger. Ten gallon tanks are HIGHLY unstable. I have kept 10g tanks stable for years only to have them crash for NO apparent reason. At least with a 20g tank, I have had some warning before the tank went bad so I could do water changes.
NOT only that, what you are talking about stocking a 10g tank with REALLY should be in a 20G or larger as that would be overstock for a 10g.
