I have high quality homenet cable 4 pairs double screened 2.4g data capacity that i could put in, or would a nymj , coax cable etc be better.

This will be buried under stone cladding so i can only install once

would u not put them in ducts that will allow future proofing?

The coax setup is usually easier and less complex than Cat 5/6/
when wiring, consider how you will feed the output to the TV's if that is what you want: just more wiring and if you are happy with a less quality then the Coax will do, HDMI feed to TV more complex
One consideration re the camera positions, consider risk of cameras being blinded by sun at some point in the day, I had an issue with low winter early morning sun

ps my level of ignorance is obvious here:)

A cat 5 and an rg59 will cover you but in reality you'll probably only use the cat 5 as the higher quality stuff is ip.
