As a network engineer, it only matters depending on the run length to the switch.

Received my cables. Really a very nice cable for the price. Convenient to run around a room because it naturally wants to lay flat.
If you're on the fence, go for it.

Maybe, but the copper coated aluminum wire is not allowed to be used for POE applications. At least it is not allowed on any job site I have worked in.

Your can use the powerline adapter, so it uses electrical wire instead of using cable. Your mileage may vary based on the condition of the existing electrical wiring.

How much for a 50 ft?
Good to have with you if you are troubleshooting as a network technician.
Also flat cables are better because they can be coiled up tightly and thus are more portable.
