The 200 ft is the main problem. From a cost standpoint, I would just install a 100amp sub-panel in the shop. The panels are cheap. You'll then have more than enough to run lights and anything else. Welder?
You can use 2-2-2-4MHF aluminum cable. It is designed as mobile home feeder cable, but can be used in this application. Either direct burial, or in conduit. The 4 wires(2 conductors, 1 neutral, 1 ground) come twisted together. It is relatively cheap at less than $1.50/ft. I installed this in 2" PVC electrical conduit.
The best advice I can give you is to tell the inspector what you want to do, and ask him what he wants to see installed.(Assuming it'll be inspected)
At 200 ft, he may have you upsize the cable.
