Regarding cable types - I wouldn't spend the extra money on Cat 6. Cat
5e
should do ya nicely.

If you're just buying a cable at WalMart or Best Buy, I would agree.
However, if you're planning on running wire behind the walls, Cat6 in
bulk is not that much more expensive than Cat5e. At one site, Cat6 is
$150 for 1000ft, vs $90 for Cat5e. I tend to spend a little more on
future-proofing when it's something going behind a wall or under the
floor. It's easier to spend more now than rip stuff out and replace in
the future.

Good point, especially if that's the best price you can get. My local home center has 1000' boxes of Cat5e for $60. So I use that. If you are really concerned with upgradability, I'd recommend installing a flexible conduit/raceway system. Something like: http://www.carlon.com/Flexible%20Raceway/ResiGard_Intro.html
Add a shop vac, a string and a "fur-ball", and you can pull whatever the latest and greatest is in the future.
