Have you ever though of going baffle - less? Some of the best sumps that I've run are without baffles. A simple container can be used as a bubble trap, or a filter sock. 10 gallon doesn't give you a lot of room, so once you have a baffle in there and you decide to change equipment later on you might kick yourself for putting a baffle in that one particular spot. Mark has a container that his tank drains into with little holes in it for a bubble trap. It's pretty slick. Just a thought.
Hope this helps.
