A lot of what you said were good ideas, however I'm going to have to disagree with what you said. Yes, try to figure out where you want the rough in placed, but get it done. I just finished doing my bathroom rough in for my house because the previous owner didn't get it done. It cost me as follows:

$70 for permit
$200 for parts
$65 for jack hammer rental
$40 for replacement concrete

Plus a full day's work between me and my buddy.

If you do end up selling the house before you do the basement, no rough in is a thing people notice. If it isn't in the exact right spot, then go ahead and move it.

I suppose there are different schools of thought on the issue.
