I have a Nikon AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens and want to buy an ND10 filter. What filter thread size does this lens use? Also, is there a recommended brand or filter system to consider if I may want to use the filter on other lenses later?

The NIKON AF-S 24-85 F/3.5-4.5G ED VR lens has a filter thread size of 72mm. It's listed in the specs for that lens at Nikon USA.
If you have other lenses that you may also be interested in using with filters in the future, you might also consider a filter holder system such as those offered by Cokin or Lee.
Such systems are particularly an advantage, even with only a single lens, if you ever decide to use graduated ND filters. The square/rectangular filters those systems use can be rotated and adjusted up and down to move the line between the darker and lighter sides of the filter to match the composition of your scene.
Another advantage is that you only need to buy one of each type of filter, and then only buy a single (relatively cheap) adapter ring for each size lens you have.

The Nikon AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR uses a 72mm front filter thread, so you’d want a 72mm ND filter.
If you may use filters on multiple lenses, a filter holder system can be a smart option. Systems such as Cokin or Lee let you buy one set of filters and then use inexpensive adapter rings for different lens sizes. They’re also especially useful if you ever want graduated ND filters, because square or rectangular filters can be positioned and rotated to match the scene.
If you only need a standard screw-in ND for this lens, just look for a 72mm ND filter.
