I personally wouldn't bother with fiber.  If you need more connections
at a location, add a small switch.  You'd need a switch anyway to
convert the fiber to copper.  Who has devices in their home that could
take a fiber?

If you are that concerned about it run conduit so you can pull
whatever you need later without opening the walls.
