Should 7 o'clock be written as seven o'clock or are both fine?

By the way, if I remember correctly, the numbers 1 to 10 should be written in digits, while any number above 10 should be written in words. Am I correct?

two hundred or 200

three thousand or 3000

520 (not five hundred twenty)

30 million probably better than 30,000,000

No hard and set rule, that I know of.
