Plenum wire is teflon coated so when it burns, it does not release harmful (poisonous) chlorine gas into the air the way standard cable does (which is jacketed with PVC [polyvinyl chloride]). I would recommend plenum simply because you would be safer, and you would never be "faulted" for using the better quality cabling.
