Personally I would run 4 Cat 5e and 2 RG6 runs to each room in the
house.  I did this back in 2000 (using Cat 5 instead) and never
regretted it.  You only want to run cable infrastructure once so plan
for as big as you can possibly imagine.  My thinking was that in the
future I might want more than one machine in a room (maybe a home
office or home theater) so I put multiple drops in each room.  And the
RG6 is useful for routing video around if you want to do the whole
house A/V route.

Yes, wireless is much easier but IMHO I can't stand the crappy speed. 
Especially for serving video, transferring files, and broadband
downloads.  And anyone who wants can pretty much tap into your
wireless.  And you don't run into those weird loss of signal/low
signal problems with wired connections.

Just my $0.02.
