-What gauge wire should I use for outlets?
-What amperage breaker should I use for outlets?
-At what height should I mount outlets at?

You can use Romex if you staple to a stud of the the framed walls in basement, not foundation wall.
14 gauge, 15 amp. Outlets within 6 feet from an opening (doorway, etc) then less than 12' apart.
They can be at std heights, and don't need to be GFI, unless there is a chance of getting wet/flood zone.
