Question:

Instructions for # ETBC7 state to use the 20- or 30-amp circuit breaker based on the manufactures requirements but I cannot locate that for my tekonsha prodigy p2.

When installing the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 so you can use the Prodigy P2 # 90885 you will want to use the 20-Amp circuit breaker if you your normal trailer has 2 to 4 brakes or the 30-Amp circuit breaker if your normal trailer has 6 to 8 brakes.

If your tow vehicle is the 2015 Subaru Forester that you put in for your vehicle info then you should only need the 20-Amp breaker. A trailer with 6 to 8 brake assemblies (3 to 4 axles) would be way too heavy for your vehicle.
