We went with the original Ford carpet mats, purchased off ebay at the time, very cheap. I had figured they would not last, but they did look nice. That was 7 years ago. To my surprise they still look new. Apparently our travels are not to terribly dirty places. I do like to marathon-drive with my shoes off and the Ford carpet mats helps with comfort.
I do shake & hit the driver's mat out clean on a regular basis.
