I would say they do a good job with dynamat and then the interior guy uses a jute pading..which helps cover any wires or bumps you might have in the floor. also maybe check with an interior shop on some good carpet like a square weave or a mercedes carpet maybe.
Its all about the prep work, Install the dynamat smooth as you can then your padding has to lay right then the seams need to be sewed in the right places to get it to follow the floor right. On a lot of the cars we do I fuse aluminum over the dips and then put the dynamat down, Makes for a really nice looking carpet. Don't use crap carpet!
In the August 2010 edition of Rod and Custom magazine there is an article named "Keeping Your Cool"(pages 40-49)that shows how to cut, shape and install Dynamat and related products. Hope this helps.

I was just going to say it would make for a good article how to work in insulation something like Dynamat with carpet.
Any ideas if that edition is still on the news stands? About to start on insulation myself soon after I paint my floors.
A trick I've used for every car I have done is use a soldering iron to burn through when making holes for the seats; as it does not fray and looks clean.
