Appears you've done a great job thus far.

I've tried to stick with the rules on the wiring with the exception
of GFI breakers, so it would fail inspection on that point.

I always put them in where they are required, figuring I'm not going to
live forever and, third party inspections being a guarantee in this area
prior to resell, it is one less thing I'll have to address for selling
when I may not be able to do so easily. Problematic in their early
stages, I have literally had no problems with GFCI receptacles/breakers
in the shop the last few years.

I've pretty much settled on 6
low bay 400 watt metal halide. I considered 400 watt equiv
led lights but just can't bear the expense right now,
pay me now or pay me later. They are making mogul base
leds that will screw in metal halide fixtures after bypassing
the ballast, so hopefully the price of leds will come down
by the time the metal halide fixtures fail. If all that happens
I can replace them one at the time.

Good plan ... looks like you're on the right track.
