A shampoo brush would be alright, if using a pad do not go any coarser than a brown one..

IMHO

a shampoo brush would be too soft, I prefer a poly scrub brush ( broken in on a concrete driveway if new)

I used a rotary to agitate for years before i bought a CRB machine

Same as Mike, except I haven't bought a CRB machine yet :D

I think it depends on the carpet as well.  A bonnet might actually give better agitation if it was a thick wool pile, so I'd have both on hand and test :)

If it isn't trashed I would skip the brush in that case, but a bonnet may well be the answer?
