10x42 are proven for versatility in open country or in the bush. I just bought a pair of 10x50s and I love them also. I would definitely not recommend 12 power binos unless you plan on mostly using them on a tripod as they are hard to steady. The extra power doesn't do you any good if you can keep them still enough to focus on your target.
