I would strongly recommend the above. I'd stay with 20 amp circuits for almost everything (which you're already doing), for the 220v compressor I'd go with 20 amps for each leg, 40 total; and if you think you'll need more air later, then 30 amps for each leg. Always build in substantial headroom on the current capacity to allow for start up power draw.
You really need a 200 amp box, straight from a separate service.
