If it's easy, run a pvc pipe or flexible conduit. Then you can pull whatever the next standard will be.

Having said that, ran very few wires in our new house/remodel, ran pipes to common areas, and ended up using wireless for almost everything.

We can stream 3-4 devices with no noticeable lag.
It depends upon the device providing the wireless and the house. Our old 2 story house had crap coverage in certain areas. Some of that may have been due to using <$100 APs.

Wireless is great, but if you can go wired easily, then it's better.
