Cat6 instead of Cat5. Two in each room, 4 at your media center and in your home office. Double the wall outlets in every room, especially if its a two story house and/or you aren't comfortable running electricity as a DIY.
And outlets up on the wall where you would want to mount a tv.
The smurf tubes they installed in my new home werent worth the money I paid for each tube. Make sure they show you what they are going to put in the wall. My smurf tubes didnt even have low voltage tire covers. Just flat, blank plates.
Prewire for cameras.
An outdoor GFCI at each corner. Switched outlets in the soffit for christmas lights if that is your thing.
Extra outlets in the garage, including at least one dedicated 20 amp circuit for power tools.
