The 10cfm compressor would be a 3/4 hp rotary vane that produces good air volume down to 17 maybe 18ft, but better air flow is at >17ft. Best diffuser placement will be dependent on final shape of the pond. IMO is you use the air lift stream feature a separate compressor should be used for powering the air lift so you get maximum water flow through the stream.
