Ahh... Nothing better than a Garage-Mahal...
Lots of good suggestions above, but I will throw in a couple more from having built 2 shops over the years:
If you are planning on a lift, one thing I've always wanted is in floor lighting...

I ran Pex all over the shop for air lines... Been 12 years, and not a single problem, and easy to reconfigure if need be...
Also, when we did our current shop, the HOA made us "Do something interesting" with the roofline. What we settled on, was what I believe is called a split gable roof:

The upper windows let in a ton of light, without taking up floor/wall space for tools and shelves and stuff. They are less likely to leak than a skylight, and if you install windows that can open, they do a nice job of evacuating heat from the shop. Was pissed at the HOA at first for the additional cost, but I'm thankful now as I love what those windows do.
