Cat7 ether net cables

I have 300 down and 25 up. Can anyone recommend if cat5 or cat7 cables would be best to use with netduma?

It's overkill but I would go with Cat-7

I'm using all cat6 at the moment but will be upgrading to cat7 soon.

Honestly unless your getting speeds of 10Gbps, Cat 6 should be be fine

The cat7 cables are better protected against interference so no matter what speeds you have its a better cable.

I would only buy from Fosom or Ugreen at the moment since they are the only ones selling true S/STP cables

Go cat 6 unless the pricing is marginal.  Now way you will ever need the speed of cat 7.  What is your house wired with cat 5e, 6, or 7?.  If cat 5e or 6, it is a waste to go cat 7.  Also termination becomes a problem with cat 6 and above.  Your whole house could be wired with cat 6 or 7 but if your wall jacks are not terminated properly, there goes all that speed!  Cat 6 is a pain to terminate correctly.

I'm not sure what my house is wired. I've already purchased cat7 from amazon. Say my house is wired cat5 but I use cat7, will that have any negative effect?

There would be no negative effects, only positive.
