I'll toss in my two cents. Checking my fairway Elec catalog a 20/40 =
(can take split breakers) position 200 A panel costs $87 and a 20/20 =
position 100A panel costs $48. I'd say: go wild. Spend the extra forty =
bucks plus the extra $25 for heavier wire. Unless your garage is a few =
hundred feet away from the service entrance/main panel you aren't =
looking at much more in money or labor.
