Assuming fed from another panel, breaker size needs to be appropriate for wire size and the sub-panel in the shed needs to rated for at least the over-current protection, going oversize on the panel is not an issue, going under size is. | |

We really need to know the minimum circuit ampacity to figure the minimum, even though you will get recommendations to not do the minimum. | |
