Can I just ask a stupid question here...

While there are times and places where the difference between 10Gb and
100Gb and 40m or 100m are relevant, is this even vaguely one of them?


Since some people have suggested installing CAT6 and above, it is
perhaps important to highlight what extra that will achieve. Hopefully
most will see the answer (from the OPs stated requirements) ought to be
"none".


Indeed. OTOH I remember when 10M was amazingly fast. Whatever goes in will become obsolete, make sure it's all fairly easy to replace.
