First you need to understand the reason for circuit breakers, and that is to protect the wiring and devices (pump) from over current. The GFCI portion is important because it helps to provide protection from electrical shock.
If it were me, I would run 12 gauge wire, so that there is upgradeability in the future, but I would only use the 15 amp GFCI breakers. That will provide the best protection for your wire and pump. Then in the future, if you need a 20 amp service, the 12 gauge wire will handle 20 amps, and you would only need to upgrade the circuit breakers.
