New construction is a great opportunity to add options that would be cost prohibitive to add once the house is completed. Over the long run it would save you money and add to the resale.
I would highly recommend a variable speed compressor. It is more efficient and you don't have the hot air blast when the compressor starts up. It is also less wear and tear on the compressor and provides better humidity control. Add on smart vents to really save money.
Also wiring for smart technology down the road. This link has some super ideas.
