I usually use the highest recommended speed control for the application. HOwever if your motor lists a max of 50 amps and normal current of 45 you will be fine with a CC45. Speed controllers take bursts of current for limited periods of time and not effect anything. If you use the 45 and you test the combo with a watt meter and its at the limits of the min current, keep it cool with proper ventilation and it would run like a champ.
