a hardwired and professionally installed extension is always going to be better quality and less susceptible to being moved/kicked/kinked etc.

Saying that, it's always best to keep the modem as close to the master socket as possible and run CAT5 around the house.

Very easy to install onself:

Its alwasy better to run direct from a filtered master socket rather than have every telephone with its own filter - get a filtered master socket

adding new sockets is dead easy, took me like 10 minutes to fit one, all you need is some cable, a screwdriver, a tool for pushing the wires into the master socket, and a socket. So long as you are not colour blind you will be fine

nothing apart from it "may" be tidyier.

Only thing I can think of off the top of mi head is that it MIGHT be possible to buy better grade cable for the extension (as in something thats semi-shielded at least)

Avoid extensions wherever possible tho - sooner it hits the router the better.

Leave router near master socket, then run cat5 upto your pc.
