You really want to know or are you just bored and looking for an argument? (no, CAT5 remains my suggestion unless you plan to go 10Gbe)

The first thing you do in your house, especially if you are planning laminate flooring is to take a grinder and grind some grooves in your floor in order to network your whole house.

Doing it this way round, means you do not need to worry about fugly wires dangling from your ceiling etc. Also, a word of advise, if you do decide to grind the grooves into the floor, if you take two grinder disks and stack them together, and cut the whole depth of the grinder, then the width and depth is just enough to actually allow for 4 to 6 Cat5 cables to be laid neatly in said groove. The groove is also small enough not to impede on the installation of the laminate flooring (and you can just install it over said grooves.)
Thats actually a flippen good tip and one I'l defnitly considder in the future :P

That's why we built our house from scratch - got the builder to lay cable piping for networking every room in the house
Best thing ever, having a fully networked house.
