upgrading electrical panel 200 or 100 amp?

Our home was built in 1960 and has a 60 amp electrical panel. We are going to remodel our bathrooms and kitchen. We were going to put in a 200 amp panel but the city told us we would have to bury the wire from the electric company pole accross the street. We decided against 200 amp because its cost prohibitive for us to bury the wire. Would a 100amp main panel be a good alternative? Our house is 1500 square feet but we were also thinking that we may add an addition possibly someday. Thank you in advance for any and all advice in this matter.
