Yea I'm gonna go with the GFI brekaers and a sub panel and use my normal outlets that I got. This panel above will be like the one I'm gonna try to purchase. If I run #8 wire do I need to use a double 40 amp breaker at the meter pole? I will probably get a box that has at least 4 spots for later use. I wasnt aware you could get a box like this with no main breaker in the box thats where I was getting confused.

a gfci circuit breaker is significantly more expensive than a gfci receptacle (like, $65 vs $10). use a 'regular' breaker to serve a gfci receptacle and then serve the remaining receptacles from the load side of the gfci receptacle. the downstream receptacles can be the 'regular' receptacles you already have but they will now be gfci protected. same protection as the breaker but an extra $50 in your pocket. :thumbup:

the lights do not need gfci protection. a 100 amp panel will work just fine.

what's your plan for running the feeder from the pole to the shed? direct buried? conduit? what type of cable?

24" is what code would require but if you are not bound to any code, i guess it could be shallower.
