If I were building would do 2x6 exterior walls, light colored metal roof, variable speed heat pumps, spray foam insulation, tankless water heater. Cat6 run to both sides of the house for wifi router points, concrete reinforced safe room/tornado shelter. Why 2x6 walls? It allows for more insulation, hence more efficient heating and cooling. Always told it's not needed in this part of the country, especially on a brick. Don't know how long it would take to overcome cost of 6" lumber and insulation. I guess it causes issue setting doors and windows too. Not sure about you, but I run my AC or heat 90% of all days. According to my research the additional cost is under $2000 and results in energy savings of up to 20% which can be recouped in as little as one year. https://info.turnerandsonhomes.com/blog/cost-to-build-a-house-2x6-wallshttps://www.finehomebuilding.com/forum/r13-vs-r19
