I totally agree with the safety issue. A friend of mine converted a garage to a recording studio and roped me into doing the electrical (in exchange for studio time). He had an electrician friend inspect my work, his friend said "well, it will work but it is way overbuilt".

I would be a little concerned about not using a GFI near water. Personalty any bathroom/kitchen on my property have nothing but GFI's in every outlet.

On the other hand when you want to sell later it is easy to install GFI outlets.
