Hi Denton,
   I would go with the 20A. Remember these breakers while a fast
break require 35-50% over the rated current to trip. So a 20A
will trip at about 28A max and a 22A will trip around 30A. Some
may trip lower at 25% over rating but you have to test to see. I
use a  18A instant trip instead of fast trip with my Jupiter and
this trips about 22A. I tried a 22A fast but saw 30A one time
with no trip.
POCO Sales in Ca is a good place to get them. About $10.00 ea
with $25.00 minimum.
