go as high as you can with good thickness wire
your pump uses somewhere around 7a full speed i think i read.

i just used crimp spade terminals, and then ring terminals to quick release battery clamps.

if you use crimps get a proper ratchet crimper.

maplin is ok a bit pricey. the varistream wiring is 18awg, i think the stuff to my battery is 14awg i had already.
terminale came from maplin and they sell the ratchet crimper (i aquired mine)

I think I used 15 amp cable to do mine Sean.
Make sure you use an inline fuse.
