Spotting the 10 ball

This way of thinking only works on low level play. Competent players and especially pros have a massive massive advantage just by making the first ball even when they don’t run out.Less risk (especially with hand racking). If you break from center and don't make a ball the odds are good you leave a wide open table for your opponent. Breaking from the side (with intent to make the 1) leaves more congestion on the side you broke from.
If the center break is working, run with it.
If not...break from the side and trust you're better tactically.
