I shy from drywalling any basement ceiling even in areas with no plumbing, because you just know the cable/phone/ 3-D Stereo Tank guy is going to have to get in there someday...

Agreed on the plumb issue. Do all your framing and then get the electrician in. Framing is your biggest diecision, as that is the basis for everything, so you don't want a subpanel in the wrong location after you change your mind on the wall location.
I am doing my third basement currently (I do all the work myself) and I can tell you that the framing is priority. but dont' strat hanging any drywall until everyhting else is complete and you are certain.
