Sub Panel Size and Wire Size

I am finishing my basement and need to install a seperate sub panel for the circuits. I currently have a 200 amp service with one 100 amp panel in my garage and another 100 amp in my basement. The basement panel is almost completely full. I ended up with 11 15amp circuits and 4 20amp circuits for the basement. The 15 amp are all lights, outlets and 2 for disposal and dishwasher. The 20 amp are for microwave, refrig, bathroom, and bar outlets. My questions are:

1. What size sub panel should I use
2. Breaker size
3. How to determine amperage for common outlets...etc.
4. Wire size from panel to sub

Thanks in advance!
