Well, I don't have an OM-10 ( OM-1, OM-2s and OM-4T) but I do have
the 50 1.8 and 1.4.  The general concensus (on the Olympus mailing list)
is that the 50 1.8 is the best of the three non-macro 50s (1.8,1.4,1.2)  It
is also the cheapest, typically going for less than $40 for one in
MINT- condition.
