Mines #12 but #10 won't hurt. I guess the choice is yours.

it really depends on the length of wire you will need but we send 14' of 12 gauge wire with our heaters needing about 30 amps.

30 Amp fuse is usually enough but if you have issues blowing it or melting the fuse body over time you may upgrade to a 40Amp.

Not a problem sir.
Its good to take a break from shipping in this Texas 100* weather with 90% humidity it seems like.
Still not as much fun as an LTx track day though
