Make the floors level, and when needed use a squeegee to remove water. A floor drain is outdated with modern EPA regs, since you'll need to have an oil separator and monitor the runoff.
Do a large apron outside the doors, and a covered wash bay is a very nice thing to have.

Strongly agree with putting in the tubing. Even if you don't use it initially.
They take longer to heat up a room, but you'll appreciate it.
I wish I had when we added the garage, but it was expensive 15 years ago.
You'll have to plan a bit, where are the lift posts going to go ??
Consider extra think pads or ?? at those locations.
Lots and lots of Light and Outlets.
Can you put a small shed or an enclosed area inside to put a compressor.
Then plumb the room with copper(my preference), steel or plastic for ports around.
