I would always go linear for high current power supplies ( 10 amps) . use 7 LM 318`s ( in parellel) correctly biased and heatsinked. This will be your cheapest option.
8) Go for an SMPS based design. with linear the Heatsink will be costlier than the SMPS and also efficiancy will be less with linear power supply.
But remember SMPS=High efficiency, small size but MORE NOISE
Linear= Less efficiency but LOW NOISE.
