It's not recommended to run your A/V cables with your electrical. Will it make a visual/audio difference? Probably not, but you won't find out until you try it.
Also be sure you observe your local building codes and use cables that are rated for "in wall" installation. Otherwise you could end up with an insurance issue should there ever be a problem such as fire in your home.
It's usually better to run one video cable to the display and let your AV receiver handle the switching. Definitely run at least one cat-5 so you can run an IR remote control signal to the display either now or in the future.
When in doubt, you can run a conduit to the back of the TV, that way you always have an upgrade path.
I plan on doing something similar, I think im going to run all cables for all the inputs on my tv. just in case down the road i want to connect something else to it... just a suggestion.
