Any recommendations? I've been looking at the square 595/600mm types. Floor area just short of 30 sq m, 5m wide, 6m long. Ceiling slopes at each side, flat bit in middle (trusses look like a capital "A" that's been sat on by an elephant, flat area in middle of ceiling is about 2m wide. Cost-effective is good.
A mate of mine did lighting for a work area in his "office" using them (TLC sourced I think). He was very pleased with the quality of the light for working in. Not sure how they will compare price wise with linear fluorescent/LED fittings for your application though.
I think you have a point there, thank you. Screwfix have
Are you using it mainly for storage or also to work in? If the latter I would personally prefer the more diffuse light you get from larger light sources, so you are not working in a shadow...
I used panels from these people for my garage. The workshop area is illuminated with 4 of the 1200x600 and my side bench which is over 3m long, with two of the 1200x300 types like you this area is roughly 30 sq. metres. I used daylight colour temp. and I am very pleased with the results as I can easily see everything without casting shadows on anything I am working on.

It will be partly for storage of old machinery, and partly for renovating the same. I was wondering about using (say) 8 LED bulbs like the ones in the link

What ever you go for the more light the better if its a workshop especially if your eyes are ageing ! At least 1000 lumen per sq m.
FWIW, bought those for the main ceiling lights in a few rooms. Very bright.
