If you're going to be digging a 100 foot long trench, you might as well put in heavier wire than you need. I would go with 10/3 (meaning 2 hot lines, one cold and a ground) at a minimum. Use 20 amp breakers at the source. That gives you the ability to have your outlets on one phase and the lights on the other. You'll have less voltage drop this way, and if you blow your outlet breaker you won't lose your lights.
You might want to go ahead and put a subpanel in the outbuilding, if you think you'll need to expand in the future.
