Switch or Hub for home use?

With all this CAT5 I'm putting into the house I really could do with
connecting it to a big hub/switch in the loft.
Any recommendations for a 24 port low power hub/switch?
Is a switch necessary for general home use? I can't see a hub being a
problem for general music/video streaming.
There are some 3com SuperStack II 3300s going cheap on ebay (maybe a
little over the top for what I require, 100M Optics etc.) but they
have fans and are quite noisy. Or should I be looking for one with a
fan if it is to go into the loft?
I think they comsume about 100W which scared me a little with all the
recent talk about what our PC's are taking. Who makes the most power
efficient hubs, cisco, 3com, belkin or netgear?
