Why each option
Office Home & Business 2016 includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint - the exact applications needed - at a lower perpetual license cost than Office Professional 2016.
Office Professional 2016 includes additional applications such as Access and Publisher that are not required, making it more expensive without providing needed functionality.
Office 365 Home is a subscription license intended for personal/home use with up to 6 users and is not appropriate for business deployment across 10 commercial workstations.
Office Home & Business 2016 is a perpetual (one-time purchase) license that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote, covering all three required tasks. It costs less than Office Professional 2016 because it omits Access and Publisher, which are not required here. A perpetual license also avoids ongoing subscription fees, minimizing total licensing cost for these 10 machines.
Office 365 Business Volume Licensing is a subscription-based model that incurs recurring monthly or annual fees, resulting in higher total costs over time compared to a perpetual license.
