Any experience with these batteries?

Any particular reason you are after 10a batteries? Got some high ohm builds you want a lot of runtime from? Just oddly curious, that's all.
Product sheet says this is a NMC chemistry (nickle/manganese/cobalt). That's a safer chemistry battery.
This is not a high drain battery being only 10 amps. Probably better suited for a flashlight than a mod.
NCR is a nickle/cobalt chemistry, so it is a safer chemistry battery. But like the above Sony model, this is not a high drain battery, and probably better suited for a flashlight application.
Bottom line, like sawlight I'm curious why you are checking out only 10 amp batteries. For most vaping applications, the minimum amp rating should be a 20 amp minimum.
If you are vaping a 0.5 ohm or higher coil resistance, a 10 amp battery would theoretically suffice and you'd be able to take advantage of the higher mAh capacity. However, that gives you no safety headroom should your fire button become stuck or should some other unexpected issue develop with a mechanical mod.
* Coil amp draw from Ohm's Law calculations for Mechanical Mods:
1.0 ohm = 4.2 amp draw
0.9 ohm = 4.6 amp draw
0.8 ohm = 5.2 amp draw
0.7 ohms = 6 amp draw
0.6 ohms = 7 amp draw
0.5 ohms = 8.4 amp draw
0.4 ohms = 10.5 amp draw
0.3 ohms = 14.0 amp draw
0.2 ohms = 21.0 amp draw
0.1 ohms = 42.0 amp draw
0.15 ohms = 28 amp draw
0.0 ohms = dead short = battery goes into thermal runaway

That calculations are not correct or to be precise: only theoretical! Voltage drops under load...4.2 Volts are only present at NO load!

Fair enough. In this application, either battery you listed should suffice. Since the Sanyo has the most mAh capacity, I'd choose that one.
