I am planning the following home setup. Any comments on ways to make it better?

Downstairs:
AirPlay-enabled receiver powering the following:
1) living Room 5.1 (has Apple TV also)
2) Garage (with volume control)
3) Backyard

This way, if we are entertaining, we can have music in all of these areas. Implementing iTunes DJ, we can have guests recommend and vote for upcoming tracks. *Is there a way for people to play songs off of their iPhones in our iTunes DJ?

Upstairs:
Need an airplay-enabled solution and MAYBE a pair of powered speakers (vs an iHome-type speaker)

I plan to control the entire system with AirPlay, however, the house is wired for cat5 and is all home runned to a central area. Is there another technology I could implement?
