Tiagra flat-bar shifters - which derailleurs?

I'm putting Tiagra flat-bar shifters (2 & 10) on a hybrid I'm building, and looking out for cheapish/second-hand derailleurs which are compatible. Do I have to use Tiagra or will 105 road derailleurs work? (I've got a compact double chain-set, in case that's relevant. I'll be buying a 10-speed cassette and chain.)

Thanks!

    Any Shimano derailleur advertised as 8, 9 or 10 speed will do as they all have the same range of travel. The indexing is in the shifter, not in the derailleur so it makes no difference.

    As long as it's a road derailleur. MTB derailleurs are slightly different.
