    10 amp would be fine. Actually it's an overkill but not that many controllers rated lower these days.

    Yes10 amp. I run a 135w quite adequately with a 10 amp - Get to 150 amp and you're thinking 20 amp. An MPPT controller is, I'm told, the best sort.

    Go large.   You may want to add a second panel in the future.
