The padding matters more than most people are told. It carries the wear, and a good carpet on thin padding will look tired long before a moderate carpet on the right padding does.
In this climate, what goes under carpet is worth a thought. Over a damp crawl space, carpet holds humidity against the subfloor in a way hard flooring does not, which is an argument for sorting the crawl space first rather than an argument against carpet.
Stairs are their own job. They take more wear than any other run in the house and are the part where fitting quality shows first.

More than the carpet, for how long it lasts. The padding takes the compression; the carpet takes the surface wear.
Skimping on padding is the most common false economy in a carpet job.
Only if the crawl space is damp — and then the crawl space is the problem, not the carpet.
Carpet holds humidity against the subfloor more than a hard floor does, so it makes an existing moisture issue more noticeable.
It depends far more on traffic and padding than on the carpet itself. A hallway and a guest bedroom laid on the same day will not wear out on the same schedule.
