Really depends on the cost of the gear. I am going fibre for lack of any earthing issues and hopefully better reliability.
We have a switch in the house with SFP slots, and I bought a pair of single fibre (Bi directional) SFP modules from ebay for under $100 the pair (Bi direcitonal ones there is an A and a B end SFP and I reckon someone bought the wrong one, normally one end unit is more costly for some reason but I got the more costly one for about $20, normally over $100!
Still, if you had switch or router ports free, a pair of media converters and SFP modules for around $300, a couple of hundred dollars for a preterminated fibre cable between patch panels at each end (You can get keystone plug ins to take fibre optic through connectors to put them in an RJ45 patch panel, you just have to think about accessability to prevent anyone being able to look into the connectors) and some patch cords and off it goes with reliable gigabit Ethernet speeds, I expect a lin kwith about 40 times the throughput of my wifi setup!
I was actually fiddling around with tools like Backyard EOS, and with a mapped network drive I should when I finally get imaging be able to have BYE save subs direct on to my NAS in the house as they download form the camera, it would not be feasible on the wifi link due to speed and reliability issues.
