What should/shouldnt I get power coated on my bike?

I was thinking wheels, forks frame, subframe, peg brakets, exhaust, swingarm. But i don't know what its good/ not going for?

Don't get your exhaust powder coated- the stuff will come straight off again. Powder coating is a process where a relatively low temperature is used to melt and bake on the powder itself. Brake drums, calipers, rotor spiders and engine components would also be a waste of time. Excellent for frames, swingarms, forks, triple clamps, that kind of thing. Not great for panels as it's hard to get a super-smooth and consistent finish.
