For comp use, I would recommend going with a fuse instead of circuit breaker. I've seen a 250 amp circuit breaker fail while only having 150 amps being pulled through it.

run 2 150 amp CBs in parallel. There you have a 300 amp that you can buy from any home depot.

A circuit breaker isn't 'useless' once it's tripped, but it is true that every time it's tripped, it degrades a slight bit. So over time, as it trips more and and more, it is less difficult to trip.
