3 phase is the best way to go, but if it is not available make sure that sub main from your main switchboard to the shed is large enough to accomodate everything that you want to do in shed now and in the future. This goes for you switchboard as well. Once this equipment is installed it is not that easy or cheap to upgrade later.

Lighting is another area where you need to have enough(I have 16 in a 6mtr X 7.5mtr area of my shed where I am building my car) to be able to work at night without throwing shadows.

At least two 15 amp power points, plus any number of 10amp power points you require. The more 15 amp power points there are reduces the temptation to file down the earth pin on a 15 amp plug to fit into a 10amp power point(not safe and I don't is legal).

Now I have spent a lot of your money, but once the switchboard is in place, you can add lighting, power points, fans, airconditioners etc as you require them at a later date.

Another way to increase the light output is to paint the walls white. The difference this makes is incredible.

And don't forget to run a telephone line and water line to the shed when you have the trench open for your cable.
