  Conduit.  Larger diameter than you currently think necessary.  End it
at
outlet boxes, at least the double size.

  I would start with 1 to 1.5 inch inside diameter.  Be sure that the
turns
are large radius, not tight turns.


  That way, you can put in the better RG6 when you discover that you
are
having trouble because you got something too cheap.

     Best answer yet.  There is no way to future-proof but this gives
you the longest shot at it.  Keep those bends, sweeps because you will
need it for the opitical cables.
