Our mower is new enough that the E10 is probably not a big deal (it certainly never sits in the tank long). And most of the E0 that I know of around here is at least $1/gal more than E10.

Around here, the mower and the snowblower sit a lot, so no ethanol fuel is important. Ethanol attracts water.
First grass cut of the year is late April, maybe early May. Then pretty much continuous until late July / early August, when it goes dormant and I mow much less frequently, maybe every 3 weeks or so. Last mow / leaf mulch is usually in early October, so the mower sits unused almost 6 months.
Same deal with the snowblower. We might get a little snow around Thanksgiving, but usually so little that you can use the shovel, the first snowblower worthy snow might not be until Christmas. Then, depending on the year, you might use it until early March. Then, just when you think you can put it away and take the snow tires off the car, you get slammed in late April / early May. The snowblower sits a lot too.
