I say go bigger than you think you will need, but that's just how I roll. If a 120 watt panel will get the job done, but a 250 watt panel would take up basically the same footprint, use the same mount, cost insignificantly more, etc go with the 250! You will be happy you did on those cloudy days or when you want to take the boat out two days in a row, etc. Basically, if I am doing it, I am getting the highest wattage panel I can get that the brat can handle and won't charge my battery at too high of a rate.
