20a GFCI circuit breaker vs standard breaker and a GFCI receptacle

[cprodge]

Residential Application...
I am adding a small bathroom. It only requires one 20a receptacle.
I am adding a sump station. It only requires one 20a receptacle.
May I put standard breakers in, one for each of these individual circuits, then each has its single GFCI protected receptacle?
Peace n thx!

Adding the bathroom, I would say that it must follow the current adopted electrical code. Most current NEC I believe requires pretty much AFCI/GFCI protection on all recepts. Lots of looks at these, nobody else weighted in?

IMPO
You may use standard breakers, if the outlet is a GFCI type receptacle.

I think the code requires the protection, but not how. I would think one or the other is fine.

Maybe in Colorado and I haven't seen the 2023 NEC but there's still plenty of standard circuits in the 2020 NEC.

I misspoke, it is not required for bathrooms, but the sump would require it.

This is from the 2023, but the requirement is in the 2020 also, it is just not a laundry list, but incorporated in the Article itself.

Typically GFCI is a "point of use"/ receptacle requirement, not the circuit....Either could work...

I was still looking in the 2023, looks like #14 "other similar areas" is not included in the laundry list in previous cycles for AFCI protection.
