I went cable, that distance it not a problem. I just put a 5 port hub in the house cost $40.00 and bought a 50M cable, cost $35.00 , Job done, no configuration issues or additional gear, and reliable.... Later I put another hub in the Obs and a shorter cable for the extra PC...
The kids PC,s all hang off the hub in the house...
