i have two 8 port 2.5g network switch with 2 sfp+ ports on both of them that i was planning to use. but a year and a half later and still haven't used them or feel the need to use them. so i say, grab the switch that has enough ports for you to make use of and don't think twice about SFP+. it's either you need it or you don't.
Now, in theory, if you know you will never use that SFP+ port, you're wasting $3. But that's basically a drop in the bucket, and (if I did not already have 10G capability) I personally would pay $3 for the option to have 10G uplink someday.
That said, YMMV. It's also reasonable to save $2 and not buy something you don't need. Since I'm already on 10G, there is some selection bias to my opinion.
Edit: clarifying my bias. And corrected price difference (off by $1).

I am getting the full 10Gb across the two SFP+ ports after enabling jumbos.
Some guy on youtube speaks highly of this one for what it's worth.
I have seen some SFP+ copper RJ45 modules being picky about link speed, meaning they will negotiate 10G and only 10G (not 2.5, 5, etc). I've paid for Mikrotik S+RJ10 since they will negotiate at all speeds.
