Hi I always recommend cloud nine underlay
If you're fitting it on the stairs I would recommend the 9mm and everywhere else I would recommend the 12 mm depends on your budget at the end of the day

The best underlay all depends on, the carpet being fitted, the subfloor and local conditions/use.
A professional could only advise once visit your home to recommend

I agree with Matt. The subfloor plays a big part in the choice of underlay. And as other fitters have pointed out cloud 9 is regarded by most as the best branded underlay although even there quality control has dropped considerably in recent times. Delamination being a big problem
