I haven't decided on the lift yet. It can go on either side in the back half. Leaning towards a 2 post of some sort on the right side to leave me the option of a 4 post on left down the road. I want to get cabinets and cars in there first to get a better idea of where things fit.

I have the same siding on my garage, which is a pole barn design. Mine has been up 17 years now. Awesome product.
If you plan on servicing your cars in the garage, get a two-post lift. Anything other is a compromise. I have a Rotary 10,000 pound asymmetrical 2-post. Plenty of info on the internet on installing a lift. Looks like you've prepped for one already (floor, ceiling height, and power). 2-post on the right and 4-post on the left sounds right. Most 2-posts need a 12' foot ceiling. Rotary makes a nice version that the hydraulics are 12V powered via a standard auto battery (charged by a maintainer). It's twice as fast lifting. 25 seconds vs. 45 secs. Really helpful if the power goes out.
Again, nice joint you built. Congrats.
