Default If I wanted to use a fuse with my ESC what size?

I keep burning up my ESC. How many amps below the constant amp rating should I go with if I wanted to add a fuse? Or should I be looking more at the peak amperage rating? For instance... The GWS 300 has a constant amp rating of 8A with a peak of 13A. The CC Pixie 20 has a constant of 20A and a peak of 30A. If I go with too high and amperage I'll burn the ESC again, if I go to low it'll blow the fuse under normal use.

Thanks in Advance!
