Under 55m, cat 6 should be equivalent to cat 6a. Is there any reason to still go with 6a? Are there differences from POE perspective?

The way to future proof is a conduit, so that you can pull through whatever gets invented in 20 or years time and your cat 6 is obsolete.
Trying to second guess that cat 6A might be able to support some 25GB future standard is a fools errand. In the OPs situation, install cat 6 in conduit and if you need to pull through something else in 20 years it’ll be an easy job.
Agreed. There are conduits everywhere. Ceiling conduits for connecting to the rooms. Under floor conduit to put cables outside. Once outside we’ll just dig or put the cables by the wall.
