About 1/2 of my 30-odd pots are French copper, my wife wants them on display, I don't care but want to be able to reach my tools fast. For similar reason I want knives, spatulas, ladels, etc, out in the open.

That's the best if you need ease of reach. It also free up cabinet space. Depending on the style of your home or kitchen, I personally dislike hanging pots and pans. Most of our remodels are really mordern homes, kitchen and baths and most of the designers want nothing but sleek lines, so no hanging pots. Some we have done over the years look really nice with them hanging. that's really a personal taste and your design.
you sound like someone who really take cooking serious. May I suggest that you try and fit a butcher block top somewhere inplace of traditional countertop. Don't be afraid to mix it up. If done correctly, it can be a thing of beauty. Your cabinet shop can build it in so that its easily replacable with a few screws. I'll show you how when you get there. Have them cut a blood groove on the surface. If its near the sink, have it drain into it. you don't sound like the type, but most people are afraid to use or cut on the butcher block top because they are afraid to ding it up. Replace it after 10-20 years. Plan a pot filler and s small sink near the stove. you should be able to do it.
