Re: 12 AWG or 10 AWG?
As others have mentioned you will have more voltage drop with the 12ga vs the 10ga but the only time it will matter is if you are sending full power to the motor. At anything less than full power you can compensate for the increased voltage drop by commanding more power to the motor.
