If you do end up going with cat-5e, I used this crimper with great 
results when I installed a set of POE security cameras.  Comes with a 
tester to verify the cable.  I had some runs longer than the premade 
cables and bought a box of 500' cat-5e cable.  Wow have cable prices 
jumped in the last year.  I thought I paid about $30 for the cable at 
Home Depot and now it is $72.  It is pretty easy to make your own cables 
if you pull the wire.

          <div>How much bandwidth do you want in your shop?</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>I have used network-over-powerline adapters for quite a
            while now, and have had good success with them. I have an
            outbuilding/home office about 200' from my house, and those
            adapters provided a very serviceable connection between the
            outbuilding and the house (about 25Mbit). As others have
            pointed out, you'll have best luck with them with them both
            operating on the same hot leg of your 240V split-phase
            power. It can be hit or miss, but a pair of "2000Mbit" units
            isn't terribly expensive. I wouldn't be surprised in the
            least if you find they work just fine for you. I would
            connect one of them to an available LAN ethernet ports
            (likely on your router) and the other (in the shop) in a
            convenient outlet. You can get versions that have built in
            PoE (for an access point, perhaps), or you can adapt another
            router/AP to simply provide wifi in the shop. There are also
            network-over-power/AP combo units as well. Don't forget that
            the network-over-powerline units don't operate in pairs -
            you can place several wherever you need them, and they'll
            act like additional ethernet ports. I like the TP-Link gear,
            and units with a pass-through power port and a couple of
            ports are wicked handy.</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>
            <div>In my situation, I do have clear line of sight and have
              "upgraded" from the network-over-power units to a Ubiquiti
              mesh link, which yields about 150-200Mbit of actual
              throughput. If you are truly only 300' from one building
              to the other, I think you'll not have any trouble linking
              the two locations using 5GHz wireless. The trees will
              attenuate, but you can focus the power available to
              increase your link budget and "burn through" the
              vegetation. I'd look at a pair of Ubiquiti LiteBeam Gen2
              units (pretty cheap on <a
href="https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-LBE-5AC-GEN2-US-LiteBeam-Wireless-Bridge/dp/B06Y2JH7PV?th=1";
                moz-do-not-send="true">Amazon</a>) - they'll get you
              somewhere around 250-300Mbit of throughput with 80MHz
              channel usage. Narrower channel usage will yield better
              reliability if that balance needs to be struck. They have
              about a 12 degree beamwidth, so they're pretty forgiving
              with your aim, but the available power is focused where
              you want it.</div>
          </div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>When I installed 60A/240V service in my tiny outbuilding,
            I had the service run in plastic conduit - but - for reasons
            that escape me right now - didn't run any fiber. I regret
            that, and intend to order a pre-made 6-strand OS3 fiber
            cable and pull it through this summer. I'll light it up at
            1Gbit (for the moment). With LC connectors on each end of
            the fiber, the ethernet switches and mini-GBIC units needed
            to turn it into conventional copper ethernet are cheap, and
            I don't worry about my ham radio RF or lightning strikes
            acting on a big copper ethernet line like an antenna.
            LANShack is who I'm looking at for the fiber, by the way.</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>If you're not averse to running a copper cable, 330' is
            your ethernet maximum (100m). If you go that route, I'd go
            with Cat6, and I'd put it in flexible conduit, guessing that
            you don't already have conduit in place. You don't really
            even need to worry about putting it below the frost line -
            goodness knows that Cox (our local coax cable company) and
            Verizon FiOS don't. That said, I would suggest calling your
            local utility marking outfit before you dig.</div>
