Friend in northern Michigan had a barn built last year. Builder recommended sheeting with OSB, then tar paper, then steel. Keeps underside from freezing, condensing, and raining in the building with occasional heat used.
In floor heat is really nice, so I understand. Hope you're insulating the slab from underneith and the sides. Make sure the foam used is underground rated though. Not all foams are the same.
From each drive-in door, pour a ramp several feet out from the building that ends up below grade. This way, the corner of the slab is not strained if it ends up, over time, several inches above the drive way.
If you're worried about break-ins, no grade level windows on the blind sides of the building.
Thinking about a ceiling supported chain hoist or bridge crane assembly ?
Thinking about a pole mounted jib crane? Need a little more concrete in that area.
Many discussions about screws leaking in the past. Several reccommend fastening on the crowns of the ribs, out of the water. Check with your builder.
Power coming in from a pole or underground? If underground, bury a conduit so it comes up thru the edge of the slab, and not have an external conduit feeding the place. Cap it for now, then uncap and attach the remaining conduit to finish the project.
Kids or grand kids available to hand print & sign the slab at the right time ?

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
