for a couple bucks, go for the thicker wire, at least 10. overkill beats excessive heat/drawing too much thru thin stuff. i know it's rated for the amp draw, but my radios even go direct to battery w/10. use the same for ground wire, and go direct to battery. make sure alt, block, frame, chassis, etc are all well grounded to battery.
