I'm sure this is a matter of opinion, but I would tend to favor
the 7X50, only because any type of motion makes the larger
magnification (10X) hard to deal with.
If magnification is all you are concerned about, than 10X with Image
Stabilization - as Jeff mentioned in his reply - might work for you.
They will also be easier on the eyes during daytime use than the 7X50's
(see below). Check them out at a dealer.
If you are planning to use them at night for navigational purposes, I'd
recommend the 7X50's. They have twice the light gathering power of the
10X50's (it's the same reason that 7X50's are preferred over 7X35's even
though the latter is lighter/smaller) and, as you've already mentioned,
are easier to keep steady compared to bincos with 10X magnification.
