I'd personally future proof with cat 6 or higher. I pulled Cat 6A in my house 4 years ago. $250 for 1000 ft. Cat 5e around $80-100 for 1000 ft and cat 6 around $120-180 for 1000 ft. Everything else is about the same costs (switch, plates, termination etc). Spend $150-200 more for the entire house is my suggestion. Pulling line again would be a pain and worth more than the price difference, let alone cost of buying line twice.
I'd go with the 10 Gb standard, especially if I would be in the house for a while. Ethernet is more stable and I find my devices run cooler on ethernet than wifi and ethernet is less finicky than wifi.
