Whenever I run my own wires, I always try to oversize them just in case. You never know what crazy changes will happen in the future. Plus I'm not paying an electrician.
The 10 amp breaker sounds a little too close for my comfort. The rule i use is oversize the breaker 20 percent or so to avoid nuisance trips during brown outs, spikes, peaks, etc. You can push your luck and may get away with no problems, but you will never find out until the dead of a cold winter night. From experience, I don't trust new equipment until I see it work reliably for quite a while.
