The worst thing that can happen with an undersized breaker is that it will Trip more often if you over load it. If you find that it trips too frequently then you will need to upgrade to the 40 amp, but you will also need to upgrade the wiring to handle the additional load. If you are just doing light fabrication work and not really taxing the system, the 30 amp breaker should be fine.
