Default Which replacement carpet to use ?

As the title indicates, which new carpet type is recommended for a remove & replace job ? Without backing, with backing, etc..... I will be doing all the work myself.

I'm going with stock interiors for my carpet. They sent me some samples and a couple look like they match the factory color.

I've heard a few people that got the backing from stock interiors say it made it harder to install. Wouldn't mind getting more details on that

​​​​​​​The color will be black. My concern about is with or without backing.

I went with the Stock Interiors carpet for my hawk 2 years ago!

I liked and went with the black color, not grey! not ebony!
I opted for the Plush carpet and extra Mass-Backing.

If I was to do it again, I'd skip the Mass backing.
It is harder to install and not as form fitting as I would have liked. the standard backing would have been perfect.

That said, it's settled over time, and I'm okay with it. But like I just mentioned it's overkill.
