Wire guage is a function of amps and wire length. Google voltage drop and there are calaculators.
Another consideration with very light guage wires is they may be fine for power transission but mechancial vibrations can cause them to fail. 20gauge is a little lighter than I like.
I disagree with the person who said, you don't need a switch for the water pump. If the pressure switch in the pump fails, you want to be able to cut power to the pump without cutting power to all the lights.
I think you need a blow up of the main panel showing how the AC & DC circuits fit together (or more accuratlely are kept apart.
