One with dark edges. Two for full coverage. I would suggest a Panorama(50/50) and an actinic stunner or two on a 10 gallon.

Or use two PAR30's for even coverage and you can grow anything you want in there!
two PAR38's seem overkill
two PAR30's is very intense lighting as well, slightly overkill, but good if you're planning to grow sps on the bottom too

You only need one with wider optics and you would hang it like 6 inches away.

The panorama is a ecoxotic led module. You'd need like 2-3 of those...

1 bulb aprox 8 inches above the tank should be fine, even higher if is possible imho, 10 gal tank is not to high and this bulb has decent penetration.
How much that bulb gonna cost you?
Maybe better to build simple 12 LEDs bar? One dimmeable driver $40, 12 luxeon stars $48, short aluminum heatsink from eBay $10, 12 lenses 60 degree $10-12...
Some dimmer and you are set...
If you need help feel free to pm me.

Gl and regards
