Is it better to stay in Syracuse or Catania?

Stay in Siracusa at least for most of the time - a transfer to the airport from Siracusa is about 100 euros - or there is a regular door to door bus service. if you were to stay in Catania for the first couple of days you could see Piazza Armerina and Taormina if you wanted- but 10 days in Catania is pushing it a bit.
