I've gotten stuff from Noramco before. Decent price and good quality.

For most purposes, Cat5e will be just fine. As has been said, Cat6 is 
just a higher standard. Unless you are wiring one heck of a network, you 
will probably be perfectly happy with Cat5e (unshielded, unless you will 
be running near nasty EMI).
