IIRC MoCA 2.0/2.1 devices will give you real-world Gigabit speeds, and 
newer stuff will go even faster.  So I'd say it's worth a try before 
going through the hassle of trying to pull Cat6+ through the place, and a hell of a lot better than pwerline.

In theory, the current-gen stuff will get you there but it's very 
distance dependent.  Performance falls off rapidly, and they're very 
suceptible to interference.
