Plan, plan, plan. It will make everything much easier.

Sounds good. Do recessed lighting in bathrooms over vanities vs. stupid ugly expensive lights coming out from wall. Pick out all your tubs, toilets, sinks, fixtures, appliances, baseboards, crown, etc...get allowances for this.
Finally remember in all likelihood you are financing this at historic rates, spend a little more to get exactly what you want and keep your cash, there has never been a better time to pimp your house

Cat5.... meh. With Smart Tv's, like Samsung's 8000 series for instance, you can wirelessly stream Netflix or run Plex from your HTPC perfectly. IPad for portable media, wireless cards in PCs, no issues, and less wires.
Just got a new house (woot!), two stories, 2100 living, with a walkway between it and the garage, which houses my mancave. For my router I went with this....
ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router
I got 3 out 5 bars of wireless in the garage, so I added Amped Wireless High Power 1000mW Wi-Fi Signal Booster (SB1000) and that boosted it to 5/5 everywhere. I did need a wired connection in the garage, and since I had the equipment from my old house, I re-used an Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Smart Repeater and Range Extender (SR10000). It allows you to respit out a new boosted signal, and gives you wired connections for older devices.
Even if you don't go that route, the router listed above is ridiculous. Even without the powered antenna, it gave me 5/5 bars everywhere inside my home.
