Default ESC Question

I am having a difficult time in trying to determine the size of an ESC, in aphmeres, based on the motor size and battery configeration. Is there a simple formula or method to make this determination? Also, how much greater, in amps, can the ESC carry above the estimated draw? For example, can an ESC rated at 30 amps be used for a system estimated at 15 amps, or would you even want to?
Thanks for any suggestions.
