iC-20 Intellichlor. I'm afraid that if you were to get the iC-40, you may not be able to throttle it down enough to accommodate 10,000 gallons.
I'm very happy with my Pentair IC40, 3-1/2 great years. I will gladly get another when the time comes. The 2 to 1 ration works fjne in our pool, we can make all the chlorine we need.
That is what I have and I love mine. It has served well with little to no issues.

I've had a Hayward (formerly Goldline) AquaRite AQR15 for over 10 years. My first cell lasted well over 7 years and cost less than $400 to replace. So, in a 19k gallon pool that is open year-round My chlorine cost works out to less than $57 per year. It is also probably the most popular unit among forum members, and can be had online for under $900.
I'm thinking of this one because the cell seems to last a long time and replacement cells seem to be inexpensive.
The Hayward is a good choice, better warranty than the Pentair and cheaper cell replacement. If you self-install the Pentair you only get a 90 day warranty compared to 3 years for the Hayward.
