Don't buy pre made, get a local joiner to build one, more expensive but oh so worth it
I bought pre-made - From a local firm but I believe it was made by Albany Sheds - nothing wrong with it. Just don't go for cheap pre-made, because they suck.
15mm or thicker shiplap construction to eliminate the risk of shrinkage and board separation.
Don't believe the hype about tanalised timber or let it limit your options - it ain't what it used to be and now isn't any better than the stuff you buy at your garden store of choice and brush/spray on yourself. BTW if you aren't having it pre-treated and plan on self assembly, it's worth treating each panel beforehand.
It's usually worth the extra to get them to line it with a breathable membrane during manufacture - I bought a couple of rolls and did it myself, because I'm tight-fisted and didn't mind putting the extra hours in, but also because I needed to save money for the polystyrene, thermal sheeting and OSB I used to insulate and board it out.
Regardless of whether you are siting the shed on a concrete pad or on blocks with floor bearers (I went with blocks dug in and levelled), use DPM between the blocks/concrete and the timber it minimise damp.
I keep hearing good things about that book - gunna have to buy it at some point:
'Hurt me!' she begged, raising her skirt as she bent over the workbench. 'Very well,' I replied, 'You've got fat ankles and no dress sense.'
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes; after that, who cares?! He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!

I got both books - they are quite funny.
If your staying put I would advise going for concrete over wood. My shed is made from concrete panels, very solid and secure. A rather large shrubbery shields it from the house, looks a bit like a bunker.

https://www.greenretreats.co.uk/ <- not cheap but WAY nicer than a 'shed' - it's what I use as my office.

You could do what colin furze did and build an underground man cave instead.

"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."
That's the real deal right there.
