I can tell you that that is a good idea! I suggest to most of my clients that they put in 200 amp service, especially if the run is going to be long or they anticipate putting in a jacuzzi, using a welder, etc (any high drain items) in the future. Also a suggestion is to have your electrician go with the bigger wire - not just what will pass code. It is easier on both your appliances, and elec bill.... -- maybe an electrician on here can explain this better but here is my simple view --- more resistance, less actual power.
