I would place the filter in a back corner facing the outlet water stream along the back. This should create a small current in the tank. Please remember that once the filter is cycled and it needs cleaning, only rinse one of the filter pads. Then next time, do the other pad and so on alternating them. That way you will not loose all your good bacteria.

What is the best type of freshwater aquarium filter?

This is a subjective question. The most efficient IMO is the 'Power Filter'. The best make IMO is the 'Eheim'. There is one type of filter though that should NEVER be used and that is an 'Undergravel filter'. They store all the bacteria and detrius in the gravel. They do not remove anything from the tank and they can not be cleaned. They are one power black-out from poisoning the tank and all its occupants..

What type of filter is best for a 10gallon aquarium?

External power filters are always better than any other kind of filter. The worst filter of the lot is the undergravel filter because it does not remove any poisons from the tank but stores them in the gravel from where they can poison the whole tank and kill all the fish if you have one power black out or a plug gets pulled out by accident.
