The service lateral drop from the transformer to your house I am sure is aluminum. I doubt if the power company will install anything but aluminum. The wire feeding the transformer is also aluminum. Just make sure the electrician uses copper for the service drop thru the meter socket and to the new electrical panel. What brand and type of electrical panel is the electrician installing? If he has not installed it as yet, I recommend a Square D QO. Not the Square D home line panel.
As for your dedicated circuits install at least one more, three. The extra cost will be next to nothing. As for the Porter Ports receptacles they are a very good Hubbell HBL 8300H Hosp grade outlet and well worth the $36.00 each. You can always upgrade to higher $$$$ outlets later if you like.
