Garage
I put a 200 amp panel in the garage. Meter is in the alley. House is the sub panel.
Leave room for expansion.
If you use aluminum make sure the panel is tagged to accept it (and the new main breaker). Some are marked for copper only.
There really isn't a problem with aluminum for mains. Just use some NOOXID for the connections and check the lugs for tightness every once and so often.
