10 is best, but it would be better to have 12 than to have 8.
Similarly, go for 5 - otherwise 6 is better than 4.
I found that I've worked the clock & shot clock for so long that my counts are pretty accurate (when working the shot clock, I can actually count it down in my head from 30/35 to 0). Just concentrate a bit more on the clock the next time you watch a game on TV - you might be surprised at how long/short certain things take.
