CB, Yes, you should go with at least 8 gauge (if copper or bigger if aluminum of course) considering 30 amps of service at that distance and NO the 10 gauge could be problematic due to excess voltage drop (despite the charts cuz one should allow room for expansion) if n when you start runnin motors due to the extra start up current like Gerald mentioned. I take it your just running 120 volt only??? You can go with direct burial UF cable but if you run under any driveways etc. enclose the wire in conduit.

Theres a long winded discussion of the safety and importance of equipment grounding conductors over on
