I wouldn't spend too much time looking into purchasing ethernet cables. Anyway, I got Belkin Cat 6.
Anyway, I was at CompUSA, and I noticed the Cat 6 support gigabit ethernet. Since my l33t G4 is the only computer that supports gigabit ethernet, and my router doesn't anyway, they wouldn't get much use (aka I wouldn't get higher speeds). But then I looked at Belkin's Cat 5e cables, and they were (for some strange reason), more expensive. Also, as long as we're at stupid pricing, the 14' cable was about $1.50 more than the 7' cable. Stupid, but at least I got longer cables if I need them in the future.
Anyway, you should be fine with whatever. I oped not to get the cheapo in bag packaging that looked like it could be sold at Wal-Mart, but that's just me. I got the ones in the blister packs, they looked higher quality.
No matter what, for a home network, you're really not going to go wrong no matter what you choose. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
