Default 10-5 Cylinder Replacement Question

I have a 10-5 blue 2" snub that is currently with my gunsmith that has an issue with one of the cylinder notches. It is not fully catching and I can advance the cylinder by hand on one notch. He is going to try and square off the notch, but we may need to just replace the cylinder.

Besides the obvious of finding a 10-5 cylinder I am curious as to what other .38 Special cylinders I could use
Can I use a newer dash 10 like say a 10-6 or 10-7? An older dash model?
Can I use a 64 for a pinto look and, if so, what dash?
Can I use a model 14 or 15 cylinder as I am seeing more of those cylinders on used sites? Again, what dash a 15-3 or 14.2 for example.

I know gas ring placement and threading for the ejector rod play into this so curious as to what would be compatible to my 10-5 outside another 10-5 cylinder.
