Carpet looks much better.

And with backing, it's quieter inside

Rubber is a lot easier to clean and doesn't get soaked. That's why they often use it in fleet pickups, etc.
Carpet looks and feels better, and comes in more colors!

A rubber floor mat can trap moisture against the floor much better and for much longer than carpet so the potential for rust damage is greater especially after a rubber mat cracks.
