Use straight.

Crossover IIRC is really for PC to PC conection.

So assuming you have 3 bedrooms upstairs you can run a Cat6 cable upstairs to a 4/5 port hub (this will need a power supply).

from that run a cable to each room, which in turn has a hub.

With regards to cables you can get flat one, but these are more expensive.
