Either will work but I'd go with CAT-6 being as that has better capacity/performance than CAT-5. Depending on what you are doing you probably wouldn't notice a difference between the two.

Cat5e is the bare minimum today. Though Cat6 or Cat6a would be preferred, especially if there is any high intensive usage or gaming expected.
