What is the best mouse mat for gaming?

I have the razer vespula right now and I am using it with the rat 9 at 1500 dpi with full weights. I play bf3 and do mostly running and gunning and sometimes sniping. It has gotten kinda worn out and it makes a lot of noise. I was wondering which mousepad I should get and if I should get cloth or plastic or metal, and why. I only need 10 inches or less. Also, what brands you like and if I can use the new mousepad on top of the vespula's bottom mat or if I should cut away the wrist rest from the mat. I have an antique smoothish wood desk and I want it to stay put. The most important question though is, what is the best mouse mat for gaming?
