50A is 12,000 watts allowing you to run everything at once: 2 AC/heat pumps, MW, HW, ceramic heaters, refer etc. Disadvantage is larger power cord.
30A is 3,600 watts and much more restricted. Low voltage and worn plugs are more common.
I added a second independent 20A circuit with an extension cord and gives me 30+20A in a 30A CG. Typically used for ceramic heaters or coffee pot. Also plugs into a unused rig circuit so the plugs are usable when connected to 50A
