We're considering a similar build. I'm thinking 30' x 46-48' with 12' ceilings and 2 x 18' doors across the front. Thought process - my father's shop is 30' x 40' with 3 x 10' doors across the front. This 3 door configuration hampers our ability to get more than 3 cars in the shop at any given time, even though the 40' dimension can accommodate more. 2 x larger doors make the area more accessible. Just my 2 cents.

Also, floor drains (as discussed in other similar threads) are a must. We use the center bay of Dad's shop as a wash bay in summer and winter (keeps the soap from drying and out of the cold respectively).
