I absolutely agree that you should install the highest capacity possible - that is 32A.
My house for some reason had a 3 phase supply, but a few years ago when the electricity company changed over the meter, to allow for smart meterage, they said they had to switch it out for a single phase supply.

It terms of future proofing, that may not have been the greatest move. I'm not sure how much choice I had in the matter or the technical detail. I didn't question it too much at the time. They had to dig up the garden to do it, so I assume it wasn't on a whim.
