I thought it was 90m for the run, 3 metres on each end for patching... ah well.

cat5e = category 5 enhanced...
which means it meets or exceeds some added quality standards, lamens terms, its better, and probably a good idea for very long sections of cable.

Yup, Cat5e is enhanced-standard cables... I don't think it would really affect how long you could run the cable though, the attenuation specifications for both Cat5 and Cat5e are still 24dB.
Would be a good idea if you wanted to cut down on NEXT or return loss, thought :).
