At a length of 10 foot and a current draw around ~20 amps.The voltage drop for 18 AWG is about 1.3 volts.For 16 AWG its about .8 volts, 14 AWG = .5 volts, 12 AWG = .3 volts, 10 AWG = .2 volts, and 4 AWG = .05 volts.

The difference between 18 AWG and 16 AWG is actually rather large, but I agree, 10 AWG is the best way to go
