My question: Is it better to run 90 Octane Ethanol free gas vs. 93 Octane w/ 10% Ethanol?

I'd go with the cheaper Florida Law prohibits the sale of Ethanol Free in cars. For off road use its legal and should be cheaper since you shouldn't be paying road tax on it. They are probably doing what diesel pickup drivers do, buy home heating oil and run off of that and avoid the DOT tax and making a killing in profit. Or they are flat out lies.
"Florida RFS (Renewable Fuel standard, March 2008) required MANDATORY 100% blending of ethanol for public supply of gas by 12/31/2010. Exemptions exist for fuel used in aircraft, boats and watercraft, fuel sold to a blender, or used in collector vehicles, off-road vehicles, motorcycles, and small engines. View Press Release and House Bill 7135, section 103 of the Florida Statutes.
Florida law requires gas pump labeling with an E10 sticker when ethanol is added to gasoline. Sadly, several stations that advertise E0 ethanol-free gas, actually are selling E10! Many that sell E0 inflate price per gallon by far more than it costs them."
