I debated over LED's over fluroescents as well. I opted for 4' fluorescents. They last quite a long time, and they have lights that aren't affected by the cold now. Zero regrets. Light colored walls, and tons of fixtures are a must, too.
My favorite thing I did was build a 2' shelf that runs the entire length of my back wall in my 16x16 shop. I cut 2x4's at an angle, and it doesn't affect floor space at all. It makes it great for storage of pipes, boards, conduit, whatever.
My other opinion is do not put anything in the walls. I'm always reconfiguring my work spaces. It'd be nice to have the ease of adding or changing everything. Once it's in the wall, it's there
I personally really like L shaped benches, with shelves made of 2x6's on one side. My last bench I built it to fit a US General 44" box under it. Just haven't had the cash freed up to buy another. Anything to save floor space in a small shop.
