I am leaning toward the 10 stop, but if you could only buy one what stop would it be?
Just a suggestion if you haven't already done it, make sure your ISO is manually set to 100 and not automatic. Also use the camera in aperture priority mode, and the smallest aperture (usually around f/22 depending on the lens). Those things will make the camera as slow as naturally possible. Then you won't need an expensive 10-stop filter.
