I would get a regular sump pump .I have a Mag Drive built by Supreme.You can always get a pump that is larger than what you need and put a gate valve on it to regulate the water return to the tank.Plus if you get a larger tank you'll already have the pump because they aren't very cheap..I have a Mag drive 7 on my 75 gal tank and still have room to use that same pump if I get a larger tank.I know 75 gal is way more than what your dealing with right now but it gives you an example.
I think a 10 is WAY to small for an Wet/Dry but try this

Even a 35 gal doesn't really need a wet/dry.One of the only reasons I got a wet/dry for my 75 gal was do to the fact that I keep africans in it along with a 12" pleco,and they are all poop machines with fins,so I needed something to keep up .My filter alone holds almost 8 gal of water.If I didn't have the africans I probably would get some kind of canister filter that would do just as good.
