Most providers will have some sort of tools to monitor your traffic.
Go for 10Mbps, and if you notice slowdown, or the mentioned tools
report bandwidth problems, upgrade... My guess is 10Mbps is a lot for
300-400 unique hits per day, but if you serve downloads too, then you
may have problems in the future, as Kyle said...
