I don't have any experience with Fat Mat but I have used and been very pleased with Dynamat. Hope this helps.

Re: Best sound deadener?
Here is an excellent site on sound deadener. This guy went way overboard but if you are a true audiophile you will appreciate this. I am going to pick up some of the RAMMmat BXT60 for my truck when I am in St. Helens, OR this summer.

Re: Best sound deadener?
I used Fatmat in my truck and my estimate is you need about 75 square feet for an entire cab. (My cab is currently 100% empty.) I bought from Fatmat
100 square feet for 100 dollars, I cannot speak to its effectivness yet, because my truck is not finished. The sound of the door closing sounds much better after the install.
