The heavier the underlay the better the carpet will wear.
In living room areas where you will have greater footfall go for the best you can afford.
An 80/20 carpet (80% wool 20% synthetic) would be fine for a living room. Basically carpets made from nylon/polypropelene(synthetics) will be harder wearing than pure wool ones but they lack the softness and resilience (bounceabilityness-its a technical term!) of wool and so 80/20 offers a good compromise.
Generally 80/20 carpets will be more expensive.
