Recomended Carpet Pads for different types of carpet

Berber Carpet - Almost always uses a 3/8" carpet pad. A thicker pad will cause peaking in the seams.

Trackless / Cut pile carpet - You can use almost any pad you like. A thicker pad is not always better. You want to take into consideration the amount of foot traffic. For heavy traffic you would want at least an 8lb density pad, but if you desire a soft feel, you could go with something like a 6lb carpet pad.

Commercial Carpet - Commercial carpet requires a thin dense pad. Depending the type of installation, you may need a pad that can be used double stick installation. (that means the pad gets glued to the floor and the carpet)
