It was surprising the amount of AV related gear that was multimode specific! The cost differential has dropped so much now you can run either at low cost so if you have the space you can run both.
MM is easier to do mechanical splices on, and does seem to be overall less sensitive to damage. If your need is 10G and less than 300m it works well.
As an aside I ran a USB over fiber repeater that was multimode specific by accident I used a single mode fiber (same LC connector), and it worked perfectly.
