Ideally (i.e., according to code, etc) you should use #10 wire on a 30-amp circuit. Another possibility is to use any adjacent pair of 15-amp breakers, although ideally (again), the two breakers should have a handle tie.

However, since there will be no genuine load away from the panel that uses the two breakers (besides the coupler), you could safely get away without the handle tie. Better that than to connect #14 to a 30-amp breaker!
