  UTP has advantages and disadvantages.  It is easier to work with, and the
cable is cheaper than coax.  But you need a hub to connect the machines
all together.  If you are on a strict budget and don't mind having coax
strung around the place, by all means go for it.  But if you are putting in
a (semi)permanent installation in an office or house, pulling UTP through
the walls like telephone wire is quite easy and makes a tidy installation.
  Properly handled, the two systems should give equivalent performance.
