If you are running new service with a new meeter just for the shop - I bet you will find the the cost difference between the 100amp and the 200amp service is very small -- making the 200 the way to go.
Actually Tom, we don't know yet. It appears as if we will move into this house in mid-May. It is a pre-owned home, so the current homeowner occupies the house now. As a result, we have not been able to get an electrical contractor to go to the house and determine if the house's service will support a 100 amp sub-panel to the garage. Hope to find out soon.
