Usually the better stuff is triple/quad shielded. Shorter runs are better. As long as you stay under 150 feet you'll be good on any single wire.

BTW, while this is being done, it couldn't hurt to run some cat6 cables from room to room as well (on this, you might want to run a set of two just as a precautionary backup.. while rare, Ethernet cables are known to fail once in a while--coax not so much).
