I can only speak to my one experience but I had a stainless DE. One of the newer reissued ones from the mid 2000s. I had it for a number of years and shot about 1500 rounds through. Most of that was hot 10mm like Doubletap. I take good care of my guns, replacing springs often and even ran a shock buff in this gun. Wilson actually did a nice overhaul on the gun.
Well, my experience was that at around the 1k mark the gun started beating itself to death. I don't actually know what the issue was. It was still totally reliable but groups started opening up significantly. By the end I couldn't even guarantee it would hit a fullsize silhouette at 10 yards. I'm not exaggerating. I looked that gun all over for something that was wrong with it but could never find it. I finally sold it.
Based on my experience, I don't think the 1911 platform can really handle the cartridge. If you shoot softer ammo like .40 spec you should be fine but then why buy a 10.
I'd go with the revolver.
