IMO drop another rear end. Depending on what you wanna do get a beefier one. Gonna be probably even cheaper

Don't rebuild your 10 bolt rear end. Go with a 14 bolt 9.5" ring gear SF rear end. I picked up a good one for $250. I could have run it as is, but I opted to get a TrueTrac installed, so I'm having the seals and bearings done at the same time. So far it looks like it's going to be pretty much a bolt in operation. I'll let you know if any little things come up.
Bigger brakes, bigger ring gear, cheaper than rebuilding your 10 bolt, MUCH heavier duty. I've gone through two 10 bolts in the past with a stock engine and lots of towing.

I've heard of people swapping the 10 bolt for the 14, aside from it being a more heavy duty rear end what is the difference? Although I'm not to concerned about gad mileage I would still like to know if it will effect it and by how much? Does it enable the horsepower I already have to be more noticeable?

No, assuming you found a rear end that had the same gear ratio as your current front end. Your front and rear gear ratios must match. Most of the semi floating 14 bolts around are 3.73 gear ratio, with a number of 3.42 as well. If your gear ratio is different than one of those you're going to have to do some looking to find one with the right gears. If you have 3.73s, then swapping in the 14 bolt semi floater will be cheaper, and better, than fixing your 10 bolt. You need to find a 14 bolt rear end with six lug axles. A full floating 14 bolt, all have 8 lug axles, will be expensive to modify. (Some semi floating axles have 8 lug axles. these can be refitted with 6 lug axles, albeit at an additional cost.) Around here at least, the 6 lug 14 bolt rear ends are common and cheap at wrecking yards.
