I've just upgraded our network of 7 machines from BNC to mixed BNC/RJ45.

We have two hubs (a 9 port and a 5 port - 55 pounds incl VAT) which are
connected by BNC, also on the BNC string is another PC which is the
print server, and it all works well.  I'd put a 3Com 3C589D card in the
last PC, only it wont work with it :-(.

I find RJ45 more reliable, and the machines seem to be detected better.
