Panel and subpanel configuration questions

The GFCI device can't go on the ceiling anyway. You'd have to add a box down on the wall for the dead front GFCI or a GFCI outlet. GFCI device has to be in a readily available spot.

Thanks. I think for consistency, I'll just do all my GFCI circuits with GFCI breakers in the load center. This way there is no confusion on which GFCI outlet (or dead front) controls which circuit. More up front cost, but fewer cables, easier to find the GFCI that tripped, fewer outlets, etc.
