Would either of these be good to use to replace 10A ATC blade fuses in the power feeds from the transformers to either the TIU or directly to the rails in conventional operation?

Neither will be nearly as fast as a fuse, thermal breakers have a significant delay, even with an overload, before they trip. For conventional operation, I'd be thinking more like a 5A breaker.
I am with Gunrunner John on a smaller circuit breaker. I used 6 amp CB on my layout seen below.
"Reset" is for 6 amp circuit breaker (CB) for inside loop LW transformer (the reset button is part of the 6 amp circuit breaker mounted under the panel 1/8 in Masonite panel)
"Short" is a 12-18 volt light wired across CB to light when tripped, the red Reset button is the actual CB reset button as the CB mounted is below the control panel.
I have a 14volt, 40 watt transformers for my switches. Many switches are wired to active in pairs and I use another 6 amp circuit breaker for that transformer too. I find the track transformers CB's trip quite often with derailments and switch transformer CB rarely trips but it does trip some.
You might want to try eBay for a better selection of circuit breakers than Amazon.
