The bottom line is, "what does the label say" . You don't need to wire any motor load for the locked rotor current because it is only there for a second or less. We wire for 125% of the full load amps. In a complex box like an HVAC system the industry engineers evaluate that box and give you a label for guidance. As an electrician or inspector we should just believe. You can use a #12 for that if everything is rated 75c (breaker, conductors and HVAC lug)
