Default Sound dampening material... Dynamat, B-Quiet, others

I will be pulling my interior out to run wiring for my new amp and componets next weekend and I want to lay down some sound deadening material while I have it out. What are your opinions of the different brands out there? Everyone compares to Dynamat but it is soo dang expensive. I am thinking of going with B-Quiet Extreme because of the cost. ($100 for 100sqft). Since I have a reg cab truck, I think I could double layer everything with that much material doing the doors, floor and back wall. The main reason I want to do this is because my exhaust has gotten overbearing since I removed my cats. Any opinions or suggestions would be appriciated.

I'm not sure of the cost, but I'm going to get my interior sprayed with the spray on bedliner material one day. I bet it will do a lot for killing most road/exhaust noise. It might even look good enough to do away with the carpet. Just a thought.

I looked at the fatmat but the ALF numbers on their page contridicted their claims that it was better than Dynamat Extreme. I can get the B-quiet Extreme off ebay for that same price.
