Home Network question

I am wiring my house up with CAT5e. Next to my router I will have an outlet with six or so connections where I can run a network cable from it to the router. That outlet will have runs under the house to each room I am connecting up.
It's been a while since I took my cabling class and was reading through it. It says for residential connections I should pin down to T568A. Does it really matter as long as on both ends I use A or on both ends I use B and make sure that the cables I am running from the jack to the device are correct?

Thanks. After posting this I pulled the cable under my house and you responded just as I was wiring up the jacks. I made both ends A and plugged it up and I am now connected via wired CAT5e. Thanks for the help.
