Gigabit networking is the way to go, and these days most of the devices are ethernet equipped. I'd say CAT5e & termination accessories are cheaper, still carries gigabit.

CAT5 has just become a generic term for a “data cable” to us over the years, old habits die hard. But sure, use CAT6 if that’s what you have, I wouldn’t sweat it though, 100Mbps is still 100Mbps faster than 0Mbps.

You need that for gigabit, right? With the speed of wireless increasing, 100Mbps hardly seems to be worth the effort of pulling wire. If you’re pulling new cable, shouldn’t it be Cat6?
