Howdy,
I have a 10" B&D table saw that I need to get a decent blade for. I also have a 20% of one item at Rockler, and will be in Indy tomorrow, so I will be able to stop in before this coupon expires. Mainly, I will be doing segmenting type cuts.
Here is a link to Rockler's goods. I am hoping to stay closer to $50 for the blade, but will go up to $90ish if the bang for the buck is there.

go with the Freud LU83R Thin Kerf Combination Blade

thin kerf is good for low powered saws, and you will get decent cuts with either RIPPING or XCUTTING...
 
I have two blades for my table saw at home. For furniture work I use a Forest Woodworker II. It is a great combination blade for both ripping and cross cuts. It's also about $100 and I don't see it on the list you provided from Rockler.

The other blade I have is a 7 1/4" Freud circular saw blade. I do most of my segmenting work with that. Costs about $15 at the home center, cuts great and has a nice thin kerf 1/16".

If you are set on getting a 10" blade from Rockler then look at the Freud combination blade. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=2359
 
When I got my first tablesaw, the included blade sucked. I needed something to make smooth cuts, so I went to the hardware store and bought a high tooth-count Freud, I think it's an 80-tooth, it was around $40.

It has cut so smoothly, that the small slowdown from the less aggressive cut doesn't bother me at all, I still use it to this day. It does need a sharpening, though. If I were to buy another, I'd buy a WWII. I haven't used one, but they're so widely loved that I wouldn't hesitate on it.

It's a bit more than your price range, but I've never heard a bad word about the Forrest WoodWorker II.

Freuds are nice also, in fact I believe they made the blade on the Ryobi BT3000 and BT3100 befor they switched to a Chinese made blade a year or so ago. The blade on my BT3100 is top notch.
