Are you going to be stalling the motors? If not, the 60 amps is all you need. I definetly wouldn't go with 140, unless you size your wires and connectors accordingly.

The red Anderson Power connectors that we have used in the past are only rated for 50 amps. Unless you really know what you are doing, your circuit breaker should be smaller then the current rating of your connectors.

People always complain about tripping the circuit breaker, but that's a whole lot better then melting wires, connectors, or fingers.
