Anyone ever used circuit breakers instead of fuses?

Looking for advice.. have a custom project starting.

bob..

I'll post up my plans before buying a ton of junk that will not work..

you will see a diagragm before going live.

Long story short..

I'm doing a custom Oval.. there's a center dash grille with a speaker.. I'm going to pull the grille and make it an LED/Breaker panel.. hinge the lower.. My guess is that the entire set of circuits can be hosted on this panel..

i've heard a few people say that breakers can fail easily. whats everyones opinion there? just carry a spare of each size?

In a house, it's widely accepted that after 5 pops they should be swapped..

Guessing that when something pops the breaker there's something really bad.
