Well I settled on getting the syncrowave 210, and I was just wondering if the electric service I am putting in my shop it big enough. I'm running a 100 amp sub panel to my shop that will come off of the 200 amp service that's at my house

sub panel is a great way to transfer power but!!!!....you still only have 200 amps. So add up what the house uses add 10 percent for safety...then subtract that from your 200amp service. Some houses are all electric...ie oven, dryer, water heater, house heater, ac systems and the 200 amps is used up quickly. Others have ample reserves. Now the other question is how far is your subpanel going to be from the main panel? That plays a role to. Keep in mind to feed 100 amps to a subpanel #2 or #4 is required and thats for shorter runs..ie under 60ft or so.
