New AC wiring

Well, the bug has bitten and time to begin those upgrades that I Have been thinking about all winter. And what a winter! ! ! We live in the area you saw every morning for a week on the national news.Received 12 ft. of snow in that 1st week of Feb.(Eastern end of Lake Ontario) My 1st project is a new AC panel.Question: what is the proper grade wire from the shore power connector to the main breaker? Yes, the run is well under 10ft.
Thank You

Here is just one show-n-tell thread on this site for AC wire upgrade info.
Since we plug into a 30 amp dock circuit, the wire from inlet to breaker and thence to panel breakers would be #10. This needs to be tinned wire -- the good stuff.
I buy Ancor wire at a local marine electronics store, that sells it cheaper off their shop reel than the big national chandlerly (and, in my situation, is a block from the boat rather than 2 miles away...)
