Effect --> Generate --> Circle. No need to make it anyy more complicated than that, much less rely on clunky workflows with shape layers and layer styles. Alternatively simply throw on a Colorama effect after your Ramp and enable the Alpha options to change colors and transparencies. In such a case it would be beneficial to keep the initial gradient black and white for better control.
