Pick the location for your 30amp receptacle, run wire capable of being upgraded to 50amp down the road.
I placed a switch just inside the service door for a entry light, placed it on the dedicated circuit so it's always hot.
My building isn't that big but I put 120v receptacles on both sides of each post and each side of the big door but not on the corner posts.
Individually switched ceiling fans mounted in the trusses.
My 24x30 has 3 2x12' for the top bands, trusses on 24" centers, sheeted with OSB then plastic wrapped then the metal, ridge vent. No sweating inside since it was built in 2008.
Wainscoting is good as it makes replacing damaged metal easier. Bottom 36" instead of a 14' panel.
I had a rollup door installed as I didn't want a slider or tracks inside. If I had it to do over I'd get a door with a horizonal hinge in the center like a hangar door. I've seen a farmer that has these type doors and they provide and shaded porch like outdoor work (or play) area.
I envy your space, enjoy and good luck.
