Thanks for the added clarity. Sounds like I should run #8 wire and I can get MC4 connectors for it which is nice. I also may need to think about adding a 4th panel. The circuit breaker is also nice to take the panels off line if I need to.

10AWG wire gives a voltage drop of 0.20 volts.
8AWG gives a voltage drop of 0.13 volts.
