Although I'm (still) in the middle of the built in robes project;

I'm planning my long anticipated workshop refit
Its a 1 car garage 5.4x2.5m brick and block construction. I want to clad the walls with OSB to make fixing storage etc.. easier. Question is, what is the minimum thickness of OSB and supporting batons I can use? I plan to have rigid (Kingspan) insulation behind the OSB, but I really don't want to reduce the width of my working space any more than I have to. Also, is OSB the best material for the ceiling (its a high pitched roof) or would plasterboard be better?
The sockets in the garage are run off a circuit in the main consumer unit that also feeds the sockets in the kitchen (had the house rewired a couple of years ago). Should I get a spark to install a seperate small consumer unit in the garage? Will this be expensive? I'm thinking about getting a couple of 16A outlets put in anyhow (some new machines will be purchased more on that later)
Thanks for any advice
