There is nothing wrong with installing carpeting in the basement. There may be types of carpeting that work better with humidity in the basement. Be sure that your basement is sealed to keep water out before installing.

What are the pros and cons for a poured concrete basement and a wood-base basement?
True termites don't eat concrete. I would suggest concrete just because if there is any water damage it does't effect it as much. If you had a wooden basment,humidity and temperature would have a major factor on it's annual outcome. If it is fully finished with insulation and drywall, with a concrete foundation you can use a wood flooring. Concrete is you best bet, you can put almost anything you want on top of it, carpeting, tiles, wood , I would suggest a floating wood floor if any wood at all.
