The 10 degree decline helps target the sternal fibres (lower portion) of your chest. I tend to go with a 10-15 degree because if you increase the angle of the bench with a more acute decline it can shorten the ROM and the angle of trajectory is more similar to a dip than a dumbbell press so I would simply prefer to do dips.
The benefits of neutral grip include having a deeper ROM on the exercise as the dumbbell plates do not hit your chest prematurely as well as a neutral grip resulting in less shortening of the medial rotators in the shoulder.
On my website there is a free article called "Creating a Chiselled Chest" which goes into more detail and gives you more tips.
Alright thanks .. Im doing this workout instead of Dips , because i had a injury on my Jar. So what degree would you prefer ?

@jacobaab In general I use this angle of decline for this exercise and wouldn't go much past this.
If you have an injury it is important to see a qualified specialist. Any information I gave you here would be inappropriate and could lead to injury.

Hello.
Is 10 degree the best angle for this workout ?
