Any comments on pro's and con's of 9 handed vs 10 handed SNG ? Which would be a much better choice in terms of making money ? 9 handed has less money but chances of winning are increase while opposite holds true for 10 handed...

Here at Full Tilt Poker, you don't have to make that decision. Full Tilt doesn't offer any 10 handed SNG's, and I don't see any real need for them in the future. Both are equally profitable mathematically, but if you like playing at a shorter handed table you should play the 9-handed SNGs, and if you prefer to play against a table with more opponents, then the 10-handed SNG's are for you.

10 handers > 9 handers

In the "real world" (i.e. Las Vegas Casinos) all SnGs are 10 handed. Very few casinos offer them, though (Plaza, Aladdin, and Palms). It doesn't matter to me. The nine handed is just fine (for online).

there really is no difference in play between 9 and 10 handed Sit 'N Go's. play is generally more solid at both tables.

Personally, 10s are much better. The extra person doesn't ever prevent a good player at finishing at the same rate in certain spots as normal. The extra money is worth it over time.
