Cat5e and Cat6, to my understanding, are the exact same thing when talking about performance for most people. Cat6, however, is made to a "higher standard". If you're only planning on networking your home, there is little (if any) difference that I've seen.
Also, let me second Mondak's recommendation. Not only is it much cheaper, you'll gain valuable experience. It's pretty easy, but if you screw up, who cares? You've got more cable than you'll need anyway.
