If they tell you it needs 16A to run, then make sure it gets all that and more.
Why dance around on the threshold and risk poor performance?
If the shed is not yet wired, just put in 2 20A circuits, one each end of the shed and be done with it. The labour will be exactly the same and the difference in wire price will be neglible for the few metres required.
If you can fit it in the budget now, even installing 3 phase will be cheaper at this point in time than in the future.
There may come a time when you might be expanding your workshop and be looking at a mill or lathe, that's not the time to be forced to rewire the shed because you didn't allow enough capacity.
