Can anyone give me some feedback on the best weight to buy? eBay Jute

This eBay store has several weights. This one is the heaviest at 40 lbs. My car still had this stuff in it. My guess is it is 20 or 10 lb stuff. I am using the b-quiet ultimate 1st. Figured I'd add this stuff too.

I figure it will add some insulation, sound dampening and soften the carpet. Pretty cheap too.

Thoughts?

Glued to the rear panel? I’d be concerned about the jute fiber trapping moisture and promoting rust. Jute fiber carpet padding was the go to insulation back before the modern insulations hit the market. Jute fiber’s heyday was in ‘70s van conversions.
