By all means, run the wires while you have access. Keep in mind that sunlight will affect IR recivers, so don't select a spot that will have a direct sunbeam from the windows that will shine directly on the IR recivers. Indirerect lighting is less of a problem. Direct shots of sun will overload the IR system and make it not work!
As far as the power supply, more is better. Especially with 4 receivers. The power supply will last a lot longer if it's not straining to put out the required output.
Running an extra cat 5 has 'saved' me many a times! At 5 cents a foot, it's silly not to. You can do high def video, sd video, audio, as well as IR over cat 5 ! It makes a good safety net!
Get your wires run while you have the chance, get your floors done to keep the wife happy (very important!), and enjoy life !
You can decide on the emitter block AFTER you get the carpet! Just be sure and home run all wires to the IR block location!
Keep me posted.
