Op. 10 no. 1 will probably be easier, I think. Don't make the mistake of thinking that 10.11, the one with the arpeggios, will be easier for you if you have large hands. Use your wrists or you will end up with pain!
25.10 is also probably easier, I would say it is pretty much impossible with too small hands.
