OK. My $0.02
I far prefer slatwall over pegboard. Much cleaner, professional look.
I'm a big believer in wall cabinets with plastic pull out bins. The problem is that the company that made them for years seems to have stopped making almost all of them. I have a huge supply in multiple closets, and my workshop, but still regret that I can't get new ones. I put the shelves in the cabinets at the appropriate heights to allow stacking of the bins. It's an incredibly organized, space efficient, OCD way I've always organized my workshops.
I build most components of my workshop with fairly deep drawers. My table saw side table has 24" deep drawers, and the same with my outfeed table. I can easily store many jigs, saws, etc... as well as specialized drawers for router bits, saw blades, push blocks, etc...
I build my own cabinets. This allows customization, and hones your skills for fine furniture building projects later.
Clamps I place in a clamp rack, whose design I stole from someone years ago. I can never remember his name, sadly, to give him credit, but it's absurdly space efficient.
Ceiling mounted air filters are a must for me, as well as more lighting than you ever think you would need. You can't overdo that.
Anyway, that's a start. Still being tortured by contractor finishing the walls in my shop, so no finished pictures yet.
Oh, and tons of good advice here.
