I have had 8's, 10's and 15's.

10x42 all the way for me. Work great in open country and have not had one issue using them in the thick stuff. Wife now uses the 8x swaros. Sold the 15's, after using on a couple of hunts. Could not hand hold them and if using a tripod might as well be using the spotter.

The 10's work just fine out hunting and fantastic on a tripod for extended glassing sessions. They are a little heavier, but they have actually saved me many miles of hiking. They are my choice, but you have figure out what you like.
