Looking for a First Cross Bike for a 10 Yr Old

I am looking to set my 10 yr old (~4' 11' and 80+ lbs) up with his first crossbike. Anyone have advice on sizing? I am wondering if I should go with one of the smaller wheel (24"?) which would likely fit good now but not for long vs a 700 size wheeled bike with a small frame that can grow with him for a couple years.

Comments & suggestions would be appreciated offline & if your young one has outgrown their ride and you are interested in selling let me know as well.

Thanks,
Pete
