You can tighten a 10mm bolt on axle much more than the 4mm or so nut end of a quick release. If you have ever messed around with hex or security bolt on skewers, you will know how easy they are to strip.

If you just have to run quick release, the classic chrome Shimano cam quick release has the highest clamping force you can get, and are all steel, so are much stronger than any bling aftermarket QR. Most shops have them in abundance in the junk bins of the workshop.
