Best to visit the swiss rail app at sbb.ch/en
and do a side by side price comparison.
Unless you favor extreme spontaneity, and don't mind the price of the 15 day pass,
the HFC usually comes out ahead pricewise.

A 15-day Pass is CHF 459. So, for your 10 days, if you would be spending more than or close to CHF 45.9 per day, that’s what I would get as I like the convenience of not having to buy tickets.
The Pass will cover the Olympique Museum, Chillon Castle, the boat rides on lake Geneva, 50% off glacier 3000, your train rides to all the cities listed. Plus, you’ll probably end up using it for more things.
As stated above, you have to price out all the train trips and extras to see what the full cost is. If half of that is significantly less than the 459, the 1/2 card is probably the way to go. If you use the SBB app to buy tickets, it's not that big of a deal.

P.S. Don't forget to factor in the cost of the 1/2 card.
