Your choice of course, but as Martynvella pointed out, the larger current rating does NOT mean you will get the extra current, it just means that its there if you ever need it. If you will never tow a caravan, boat or go camping then you might never need it, but if it was me and the 2 options were the same price I would recommend the 130A unit.
Replacing the fuse with a larger one would not be needed if you don't think you'll need the extra power. The fuse is there to protect the cable used in the wiring and it is usually rated to protect that cable. If you are going to increase the size of the fuse then I would STRONGLY suggest you look at the current rating of the cable currently in your vehicle. It's far easier to replace a fuse than a loom.
Pete65, I've written this out, not just for you, but for others on the forum that might read this. It often amazes me how often people upgrade one part of a system but don't think to look at other parts of the same system that might be affected.
