I would make sure that one of the 3 smaller sites has the soil bearing capacity needed, or you can excavate, to undisturbed, ledge etc, then build up to subgrade with a sub base material like gravel, crusher run etc. in 12" lifts 95% or better compacted, also make sure the site is then well drained etc.
I would venture to guess, (you would need to calculate this to be sure) a 6" thick slab, reinforced with appropriate deformed metal bar (rebar) would suffice for a 10,000 lb load (point load divided 4 ways, 2500lbs per wheel), concrete specified would be 4000 PSI or better.
Also consider, overall height for any overhead or clearance needed for equipment like a vehicle lift, crane or chain fall for hoisting etc.
Additionally, consider all "in slab" utilities, say pex for a heated slab, sanitary line for bathroom, electrical, spare pipe/conduit for future use if you can't do it now, but can prepare for it later. Consider or coordinate concrete design for a lift or similar, now is the time to work those things out, future use etc, later will cost double.
I like that plan, functional, has a nice look to it with the extra space with high ceiling and so on.
