I don't have a top 10, but Tepa/Miapimoquitch keeps on getting better and
better so stands out for regularly refreshing the enjoyment it gives me.
Indeed, while I subscribe to the 'conlanging is art' school of thought,
few conlangs other than Miapimoquitch give me that acuity of aesthetic
pleasure that I derive from works of art of more canonical sorts.

The morphology is Semitic-like; of the grammar proper I recall little, but
it is notable for the way it is described in terms of the indigenous
grammatological tradition, employing the yin- and yang-like notions of
_valam_ and _lah_ that figure prominently in the philosophy of Kunay.
