I would recommend looking for a used bat on Ebay, Craigslist or from a local player on an older age group team who would be willing to donate a bat she has outgrown.
Check out the Demarini Bustos. This bat has great bang for the buck. This bat is a -13 and allows the smaller girls to generate great bat speed. This bat was getting better distance than the vendetta and the synge for us last year.

My DD had this bat at 12U , it was a great deal for the money. They had a hit a thon, she placed 2nd over all (including 18u) hitting the ball 218ft. The older girls with their full composites were only hitting 190, the only girl that hit further than her has a Stealth and it went 220ft.
My DD now owns a 2012 Stealth. Another great bat for the price.
If you get the 31 CF5 make your second bat a smaller lighter bat for the smaller girls. The Vendetta suggestion is a good one a 30/18 or get a synge 30/18.5.
Both can be had for $100 or less new.
Or if you want a variety of sizes get a bunch of mendoza's and Zaephyr's off Ebay. They can be had for about $30 each.
I'd look at 2012 Stealth 31/21. Just bought one off eBay for $145 including shipping, I"ve had great experiences with the seller llcoach23. For 10U I'd consider a Zephyr or similar -12 for some of the smaller girls.
