Depending on your/my current income and tax deductions available, my answer could be take it now, pay the income tax, and put it to work earning tax-free income or unearned income with added depreciation opportunities. I am never a fan of delaying my payment of income tax to an unknown future of income tax rates.

Roth is better if you are in a lower tax-bracket and expect to have a lower tax rate now than in the future. I'm sure you know that by now.

I'm fresh out of school, and I'm putting 10% a paycheck aside (7% into Roth and 3% into a regular IRA).

It would be really hard for you to shelter that 10k from taxes, or the IRS will come swoopin down on you
