Ethernet cable running, such as Cat5e would require you to drill holes at the most and install plug plates or at the least tack down cables along the wall or in the drop ceiling.

A power line networking setup has the advantage of using existing cable already in your walls to run data in addition to power. SO much easier to install.

Generally power line networking (which is ethernet in protocol) is a tad slower than Copper based cat cable.
