+1 on running conduit around the shop from a new sub panel. Put as many outlets as you like. Actually, put more outlets than you need. They will all get used! I did this when I added 220 3Phase outlets hither and yon from an RPC -after I wired 200 amp subpanel, 110 and 220 single phase then sheet rocked and painted my shop.
Second thing, cut the sheet rock and install your new panel and wiring! Sheetrock is only an illusion of a wall. It's nothing to patch and mud then paint over. Particularly if you need a better panel, need to run new wiring up to the ceiling from the panel. This is your optimum long term solution. Most stud walls are 16" centers-some 24". No matter. A long thin slice of Sheetrock will cover over your upgrade in nothing flat!
