Can a weld be a better connection for members of steel truss (all members are angle section) spanning about 10metres in terms of strength and stability? (need your views generally)

Depends how you have modeled the truss. A weld will give more fixity than a single bolt.

A 10m truss can easily be fabricated in the shop, so I would weld the connections. Both bolts and welds can provide adequate strength and stability.
