1. Pet Sematary
2. Christine
3. Duma Key
4. Misery
5. Firestarter
6. The Dead Zone
7. Lisey's Story
8. The Talisman
9. The Tommyknockers
10. The Long Walk
I didn't list Needful Things, Carrie, or The Stand because they have the traditional horror endings...the evil continues type deal. I did list Christine because, to me, it works better in that case. Honorable mentions: IT and 11/22/63.
Please, list yours.

I've heard many criticize SK for his endings but one of the things that I appreciate about SK is how many of his endings are not traditional endings. We never know what we are going to get. He can be horrifyingly brave like in Cujo (there's not many popular authors that would have gone there). Many hated the Dark Tower ending but I think it was the right one even though it wasn't the best ending for the characters we had been following for so long. When he does have a more traditional ending (like Dr Sleep where the good guys all make it out alive), it can seem jarring  .
I'm going to have to think for a while before I can attempt a list of 10 (trying to remember how 50+ books ended is going to take some processing) but these are on my list
11-22-63 The Dead Zone The Long Walk
Misery

Best endings- maybe not always as I would have liked them, but best for the story/ book
The Dark Tower
The Talisman
Lisey's Story
11/22 63 and the alternate ending
Elevation
The Dead Zone
Misery
Joyland

As far as I am concerned the Tommyknockers has the best ending of any SK book
