Default electrical panel upgrade

Me again, with the 50's ranch-on-a-slab. Electric panel needs an
upgrade and my plumber (the one who put in the pump and plumbing
through the attic) recommended an electrician who has come back with
an excellent price. He listed two options/prices: a 100 amp 20
circuit panel for $965, or a 150 amp 30 circuit panel for $130 more.

We are currently running the basic household appliances, gas where
applicable. One tv, one computer and occasional laptop, misc. audio,
telephone, small stuff. Above ground pool. No AC right now, assume
we'll add that eventually. One or two window units until then.

Which way should we go?

I am not sure they will even OK a 100 amps around here. I would
consider 150 a starting point.
