"If there is even the remotest possibility ....." are wise words, indeed.
Additionally, consider lighting options and the related heat that will have
to go somewhere. Any plumbing in the area? Etc.

S I have a utility room that I am finishing. One of the last pieces is
what
S type of ceiling to install. I originally was going to put in a drop
S ceiling, but am now considering throwing up some 1x3s and attaching
ceiling
S tile. My reasons are that it will be an easier install, cheaper and
will
S probably look nicer. My hesitation on this is that it would be nice
to hav

S the suspended ceiling in this room to easily be able to get at where
the
S electrical runs from the circuit box are, as the main circuit box is
in thi

S rooom and all the circuits in the house run from this room.
S
S What are people's feelings towards having this easily accessible via
a
S suspended ceiling as opposed to having to remove some pieces of
"permanent"
S ceiling tile if there were to be a problem/upgrade needed
electrically?

If there is even the remotest possibility I would need to access above
the ceiling I would try to have a passageway. How about a removable
panel like what is frequently used to get into an attic? You could
have your less expensive permanent ceiling with the convenience of a
suspended ceiling for access.
