I would have multi-mode fiber-optic cabling between all of your wiring
closets, no exceptions.  This is for several reasons.

The first is that, going forward, you can easily use Ten Gigabit
Ethernet in, say, ten years from today.  No, don't laugh; my district
used to think, not so long ago, that Cat 3 cabling "was good enough." 
Well, ten years later, we just got through spending boatloads to rip
out
all that Cat 3 and put in Cat 5e.  Had we put in Cat 5 in the first
place, we would not have had to do all this and spend all that money a
second time.  Oops....
