I am working up network specs for a new building, and trying to accomodate a 10G distribution from the start. The safe bet of running singlemode everywhere doesn't quite fit due to cost of the optics and the need for multimode for some other (non-network) devices anyway.
Pull a hybrid MM/SM cable. For the life expectancy of most fiber installs, you'll want the SM to run 10G now, and 40G, 100G, ?? in the future over the same infrastructure. SM optics aren't really that much more expensive anymore.
