Carpet over concrete

Hello, I'm having carpet installed over a concrete floor in the lower level of my bi-level. My question is... what is you opinion (pros and cons) of laying 1/2 or 1/4" subfloor? I'm don't think I would use drilock as it's $$ but was thinking of using plastic (V barrier) with a OSB laying over that. There used to be ceramic tile in this area that has been taken up in case that matters. If you think this would work, how would you go about securing it? Float it, nail it or screw it down? Thanks!!
