What will you actually use all at once?
Also fuck what the guy at Lowes says. He works at Lowes for a reason.

That's what I was thinking when I walked into the store since I was looking at 100 amp panels. This was a department head that also said he worked a little in electrical/plumbing stuff who gave me this advice. This is also while I am asking on here too, to make it a clear and the best decision for what I am trying to do. I'm no going to use it at all since they will be sold but I just wanted to future proof it and overbuild it so there are no worries later down the line. As an example, I am insulating these things as close to I can to like a refrigerator. I want buyers to not be left wanting more.
