Regardless of how far or short you are going DO NOT direct bury the cable.
What distance is the shed from the source where you will be pulling your electric from?
I personally wouldn’t bury anything less than a 3" conduit; it sounds like overkill, but that gives you room for expansion in case you ever decide to do anything else, and a pull rope for that expansion.
Check with a local electrician, but most outdoor wiring for outlets requires a GFCI circuit; which should also serve well for your outdoor lighting that you want to do.
