Solution dyed nylone carper or 50/50 wool, any advice?

thank, Kelly

Building a Reward Home at The Ponds.
We went with a SDN as we were told that with two young kids this would be the most resistant to staining, fading and wear. We did upgrade the underlay to a good one, so probably didn't cost much less than wool in the end.
I have heard that solution dyed nylon is what most people prefer these days.
The price is the same from my builders range.
Are you happy with Solution dyed nylon?

I have a 10 year old son with brain damage so he's more like a 3 year old.
SDN is a good product. Stay away from high % of polypropylene/olefin carpets though, very cheap crap. 80% wool 20% poly would be the only % i would even consider. No carpet is 100% stain resistant no matter how the sales rep tries to tell you otherwise!!! 100% wool is the worst as wool soaks up spills like a sponge...but it does feel great under foot!!
We haven't had the carpet laid yet, so can't tell you what it is like. yet - give me 6 weeks.
