Depends on the number of players and your position, if I played one or two players with T-10 because the top card can decide, but if you can go all-in pre-flop with T10, but my opinion is T-10, I play better than KQ but everyone has a different situation

Play them both with same attitude, however I don't like the ten kicker

If I'm on the button and someone has raised the blinds, with no other players, I'll happily push it with either A 10 or K Q. But if three others have seen it, I'm less likely to jump in with a KQ than with A10. With a KQ and more than one opponent, you know that someone is going to have a decent pair or A with decent second card.
If I go all in with K Q and there is more than one other player at the table I'm asking to get killed. The odds of someone having AK, or AQ, or AA or KK are much higher with lots of players of course. If I have A10 I have a much better chance against multiple players than if I have KQ. That's how I think, anyway.
Yes, A 10 is the higher statistical hand. But there are extra outs for a straight, and if you hit it then you're kicking ass. Just watch for your straight to your king when someone with AK will have the higher straight.

We think alike.....Close call between the two, but I like KQ a tad more than AT

In my opinion, KQ has more chance as there are two overs compared to just one with AT. As with any ace, it has a higher chance if nothing hits.

I would rather have AT

:kh4::qh4: are more preferable for playing from a late position, and :ah4::10h4: for pushing from an early position with a short stack

True. But, :ah4::10h4: is more preferable to push from the same position than :kh4::qh4:.

I think T, 10 is more convenient, a good combination of high and low cards
