Current networking equipment is typically 10/100. 100 is the current standard, with 1000 becoming even more popular. You would be hard pressed to find anything current that is only 10mbps, so 100Mbps will be your standard. As far as cabling goes, Category 3 and 5 will handle 100MBps. If you opt for 1000MBps, you need to use at least Category 5e.

The problem is in the mechanism which is used to connect computers. If you use shared LAN (hubs) it means that if you have 10BaseT connection it will shared among all connected computers. Thus you have 10 Mbps available for all computers together. When you are using 10BaseT switched, it means that each computer in your network will have a separate connection of 10 Mbps.
