In case anyone was wondering what I eventually decided on, with regards to my multimedia wiring, I am using coax cable with RCA sockets on the wall at each end.
Simple, cheap and probably the best for signal quality. Nick, have you got your walls lined yet? Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I don't know how much signal is lost when baluns are used (maybe no human-detectable amount). If you care that no signal should be lost then probably you should wire the correct, specific cable. If you want flexibility though then Google for baluns, Cat 5e, home entertainment, media, foo, bar, baz, etc. Andy
