 Out of all the network cable types i have installed and managed, i believe 10base-2 has always been the easiest and most reliable.  Of course this is only an option if the 10-nodes are within reach of each other.  

 10base-t was always a headache.  I have had more cable related problems with it than any other cable type including 802.5 shielded cable.  Also you will be able to save money by not having to purchase a twisted pair hub.
