Lastly, I'd put in GFI _outlets_, and use regular breakers, where I
could. _IF_ something trips, it will kill that outlet only, and -not-
take out 'something else' that might be running on the same circuit.
More of a consideration in a 'more than one person' shop, but it's
along the same lines as why you don't put _anything_ else on the
'lighting' circuit -- localize the 'surprise factor' as much as
possible.

Many of the GFCI outlets I've seen have a little indicator light that
turns on when tripped. Simplifes the whole "did my lamp burn out or is
the outlet dead?" question. Just another small reason to use GFCI
outlets.
