What would be the best method for switching between levels in Dark Basic? For example, in my game,in level one, The player is suppost to collect 10 boxes. At this point, the player will go to the next level. Should I use to GOTO or GOSUB commands, or just include all game levels in the main loop?

It depends how different your levels are. If they're similar (as in, the way they play) then you could probably get by with one 'game' loop. Before the loop begins, you would run a unique gosub (or do something similar, like load a unique array) that would set up the terrain/items/characters for the current level.

If your levels are completely dissimilar, I would advise using "goto" commands, but it's really a matter of personal preference, I think.
