    Go with the 20 amp circuit. Example - if you have a fridge or freezer on 15 amp circuit and try to start small air compressor or power tool while appliance is running you will spend your time trying to reset breaker.
    If you're unarmed, you are a victim

    Yup, better to go bigger if the box and wiring will handle it. Just like a safe, you will always be able to use more capacity

    Damn straight. All 110 circuits in my shop are 30 amp. Can't run a 3hp router and a circular saw at same time.
