Still one nagging question, though... What type of circuits or components use 30 A?
Per R56, only motor controllers and custom circuits may use breakers larger than 20A. Note that you can put two smaller motors on one controller which may be useful for "doors" or light duty intakes/feeders that may come to fit on a 30A breaker.

It's tough to imagine what custom circuit would require 30A, unless it was really a bunch of different items on breaker.
