Practical questions

Is there a universal 10-minute hatch timer?
No such timer is established. A 10-minute waiting or AFK scene does not make every egg a 10-minute egg.
What do the 300- and 150-second examples mean?
The 5 October captions report 5 minutes for the first egg later interpreted as Hallucigenia, and 2 minutes 30 seconds for the later Tiktaalik scene. Both interpreted names are Unconfirmed and the times are dated examples, not current timers for all eggs.

Incubator tier list: best choice for which goal?

For a timing goal, use the timer displayed for your actual egg. The caption-interpreted Hallucigenia/Tiktaalik scenes report 300/150 seconds on 5 October; both names stay Unconfirmed and the scenes are not current fixed presets. No best-incubator tier or numeric 50/60/600/6000 variant rule is supplied.
