We have done it a few different ways and when we built our new location we went wall to wall carpet bonded foam. As long as you own a heavy duty vacuum and clean it weekly (good job for a parent who needs to do some volunteer work) it works awesome. Whole gym is padded.

We covered the place between apparatus with our old gymnastics floor (13 by 13 meters – 15 years old). When we bought a brand new one, we just cut the old one to fit.

At our gym, we use old (panel) mats for some spaces, new mats we didn’t like for others, and more recently started using foam tiles such as these: http://www.wondermat.com/images/customer/picho004lo.jpg in other areas. In one spot, we used some left over floor foam, which worked nicely.
