Default Wiring Electrical outlet

The OP just said "an outlet", which on a dedicated 20 amp circuit needs to
be a 20 amp outlet. If it's in an unfinished basement storage area, it needs
to be gfci protected

Yes, as long as it's a 20 amp GFCI outlet


Doesn't need to be 20A (according to the NEC, not sure about the CEC). As
long as you have at least two receptacles you can use 15A receptacles, and
a standard duplex outlet qualifies as two.

As for GFCI, that may depend on the area. It's certainly not required
around here.
