Spa Disconnect

[MrMakeItWotse]

I live in Florida and I am installing a 50a Midwest Spa disconnect. In addition to hookng up the spa which requires a 50a GFCI breaker, I am running a 120v 20a outlet to the patio. The Midwest panel is set up to handle 125a, it came with a 240v 50a gfci and has additional spots for single pole breakers. Since it will have a 50a GFCI breaker for the spa and a 20a GFCI breaker for the outlet, what size breaker do I need at the main panel, also, what size wires do I need to run from the main panel to the 125a disconnect panel? The distance from the main panel to the disconnect is around 40' and the distance from the disconnect to the spa is about 45'. Also, would it make a difference if I only went with a 15a outlet instead of a 20a. I already have 6awg THWN copper wire that I was hoping to use.

Thanks,
Scott
