Rubber is better and will last 10 times longer. The cost may be prohibitive. The lightweight foam is worthless over time.

I’d go for the blown rubber type stuff. It’s bouncier!
I’ve pulled up carpet that’s only a couple of years old and found the foam stuff stuck to the floor boards. Very messy!
I agree with your first respondent. Research, plan your budget and go for the best you can afford.
It also depends on your carpet – if it’s an Axeminster, then it’s obvious you don’t go for foam. But if it’s a dirt cheap carpet, then you don’t want to spend more on the underlay, do you?
