If we're talking about future proofing, you should run fiber in parallel with all of your cat 6 cable.

From my personal perspective the benefit of cat 8 is not significant enough to warrant buying another spool, but if it's only like 50 bucks in your area by the spool.

Fiber is dirt cheap, terminating it is expensive, you can just run the raw fiber and leave it for the future.

oh that's a cool idea. is there a name for the type of fiber I should run?
