Nylon and triexta wear longest under daily traffic, wool resists stains and flame best, and polyester holds the deepest colour for the price.

Broadloom is a continuous roll, typically 12, 13'2" or 15 feet wide, installed wall to wall with no seams in a normal-sized room. Carpet tile comes in individual 24 inch squares that can be replaced one at a time if a section gets stained or worn.
Nylon and triexta are generally the most resilient against crushing and staining, while wool is the most premium natural option but needs more careful cleaning. Olefin (polypropylene) is budget-friendly and stain-resistant but crushes more easily under heavy traffic.
It can, but a basement is exactly where moisture and cold concrete work against carpet the most, so proper subfloor prep and moisture management matter more there than in any other room. Carpet tile is often the more forgiving choice below grade, since individual tiles can be lifted and dried or replaced.
