carpet brand question

I'm about to order my carpet from Willcox, and was wanting to know which brand is the best. It looks like they sell 3 different brands.

I decided to buy a replacement set of the Mid America carpet this time. Currently, it is still in the box, so I can't offer comments on it's quality.

Wow, thats a bummer. I was really impressed by the ACC carpet I bought and installed about 4 years ago. The fit and quality were top notch, and the mass backed made a big improvement in road noise compared to the poly backed I had in there. But what you said about the fading really scares me now. The car is always covered in my garage and my rear hatch window is tinted. I only drive the car about 1,000 miles a year. I bought this carpet set to be the last one I'll ever buy. Hopefully
