What do you want the LEDs to do? Just turn on and off? What is the application? Plugged into the wall or battery powered?

Yep - It would be really helpful to know what you're going to be using to power your 10 LEDs.

Often, the power source is what determines the best way to connect the LEDs.

The ham radio forum would be a good place to find fellas who know about that stuff.

Ten 3.3V LEDs? Get a 3.3V wall wart, hook them in parallel, call it good.

EDIT: Hell, if you really wanted to get crazy, you could add a little current limiting resistor.
