[Elecraft] KPA 100 Power Supply and Fuse Questions

A couple of general questions I suspect others might have, since I am going
to Dayton and looking for a power supply for the KPA 100 and planning on
ordering the KPA 100 at Dayton.

1.  Can I use a power supply like an Astron RS20A which is rated 16 A
continuous and 20 A ICS or should I use a power supply like the RS35A which
is 25 A continuous and 35 A ICS? Obliviously bigger is better, but I do not
want to get something over rated.  I am open to other ideas, brands and
ratings of linear power supplies, for my home location.   I do not have the
desire for a switching power supply.

2. I noted in the spec sheet the KPA100 needs a 25 amp inline fuse, what is
a good way to do this I am sure this is a fairly easy solution, but I am
interested in ideas.

Thanks
