How much power to run to pad? Automation in mind.

Currently from a subpanel on my house, my pool pad ~100ft away gets:

• 20 amp 240v gfci circuit powering:
  1. single speed 2hp pump on timer
  2. propane heater
  3. 1hp blower
• 20 amp gfci 120v powering:
  1. Spa Light (converted to LED bulb)
  2. Pool Light (converted to LED bulb)
  3. Outlets at pad

I need to fix some rusty conduit running to the pad, so I'd like to future proof. Eventually I'd like automation and it seems automation hubs serve as the subpanel, so the one on my house might not be needed.

So given this, what size is recommended for VS Pump, Heater, Blower, and a few pool/landscape lights? When I replace the conduit, I could size and run and wires so that in the future, I can connect automation at pad. I would assume this connects like a standard subpanel.. 2 hots from house, neutral, and ground, panel unbonded.

What type of heater? Gas or Heat Pump?

60 amp service should be adequate if you have a gas heater.

100-120 amp service if you have a heat pump.

Thanks! It's gas.
