However you go about it, you will always have better luck when you apply a stroke to the inside.

Expanded selections (or any selections) seem to degrade rather quickly.

For a nice clean box and stroke, I'd use a shape layer and apply the stroke from the effects palette. That way you can always adjust rather than start over.

Like so...

That's what combiBob meant by a stroke on the inside. Change the setting and you'll be fine.

Second option is to transform the selection (pressing shift-alt to centralize the deformation) and create a border this way.
