I wouldn't use either. Even at low levels there are better weapons to find than a 10mm pistol. By the end of Moira's Super Duper Mart quest I've got at least a hunting rifle and assault rifle both of which put a 10mm pistol, silenced or otherwise, to shame. It doesn't matter if they can't hear the first shot, their still going to feel it and there going to attack you just the same. It's too weak to really kill anything in one shot with. Besides you'd be surprised how deaf enemies can be. In reality the sound of gunfire travels quite far but in Fallout 3 it appearantly fades to silence after about 30 or 40 yards. Enemies only really notice my gunfire if I'm shooting directly at them.
