Been retired too long to remember the gage size for 100A but #12
is only 20A.
I have my 200A coming from the pole to the house in 2" and though
I would want the 100A spur line to the shop in UF it needs to be
in pipe too. I would use 2" and lay 2 more 1" pipes beside it for
the future things that I know you will want later like phone,
intercom etc. (Three wire or 3 single wires, either. Some want a
bond wire also back to the main panel. I would.)
