Things I would think about -
* Make sure it is above the grass and has good drainage or is slopped. Having dirt / mud wash over it during rains is a pain in the ass.
* Find out how big you want it, and make it a little bigger
* Having electrical nearby is nice, ditto with speakers. If you aren't ready now for that stuff, just run conduit so when its time at least that is done.
* Like other said, if you want fire, gas is the way to go.... two options would be run a gas line (you can always tie it in later, but run it now so its ready). Or via a propane tank under the pit... this can happen when ever.
* If you ever plan on having cover via a pergola or umbrella, having a spot for the legs or umbrella pole in the concrete is nice.
