I'd say it depends on how bright your lights are and what kind of plants you want. Light doesn't travel through water as well as through air, so the deeper the water, the brighter your lights will need to be.

also depends on the plant. jungle valisinaria and amazon sword will outgrow your standard 10gal easily. 18" is a good medium for most plants I think.
the amazon sword I had in this tank when the picture was taken was outgrowing it. It's a 16gal bowfront roughly 18" high.
