Will be adding electric to a new 25x20 garage. Im looking for options on what to add receptacle wise. It will be supplied with a 100 amp panel. What size wire to use for outlets?

Might add an ceiling mounted electric heater but the electric bill would be crazy...anyone use one?

Any help would be appreciated!

For the receptacles use 12 gauge wiring. It's rated 20 amps. Do you have any 240 volt needs, besides the heater? Base the wire size on the load.

Your needs will determine how many outlets. Just make sure to put in enough so you aren't running extension cords all the time.
