Third, if you need to 'upsize' later its a lot easier to just put in a
larger breaker than putting in new or more wire.

If you wire for higher ampacity, then may as well install appropriately
sized breakers and outlets, etc., at the time. Otherwise, unless wasted
the extra money for the higher-rated outlets until that unforeseen maybe
never to happen time in the future, placing simply a larger breaker may be
fine for the wiring itself but not for the outlets, etc., ...

True but I was thinking of being able to add more outlets to the same line.
Example when I bought my last house there was one outlet along the wall were
I wanted to put my entertainment center I had to use 2 power strips. No big
deal there because nothing was drawing much power and very few of the items
were on at any one time. But what if in the future things need more power?
I'm guessing they will. Its a lot easier to put an outlet or two on an
existing circuit than it is to run an entire new line from the breaker box.

Of course it is. But if you increase the breaker size past 20A, every single
one of your outlets turns into a Code violation.
