What type of fiber are you guys using for 100Gb runs (200m)?

Pretty simple post today -

Looking to run some fiber for a link inside a building, and realistically 40Gb or a few 10Gb would be fine, but the switches on both ends support 100Gb, so I'm looking into that option.

The question is, are there any readily available fiber products to support this distance? Looks like OM5 is starting to show itself in the market now, and I'm trying to figure out what the best option is for 100Gbps at 200 Meters.

Would you guys recommend OM5 with MTP-12 cassettes on both ends? Or move to single-mode? Nothing against it, just haven't worked with it in the past.
