Every laminate flooring company sells trim pieces for doorways. Most people either use
T-molding, or some straight edge/square nose molding. These are the two most popular transition pieces. If you're talking about a door to the outside, most people use the square nose. If you're talking about a transition piece to a carpet or tile, then it depends on how high the laminate is in reference to the other flooring. You could end up getting T-molding,
square nose , or a
reducer.

or cut the bottom of the trim so the pergo slips underneath then only run the trim up to that vertical trim board? (if that makes no sense I'll take a pic)
Also, around my cabinets there's a bit of trim running vertically on the corners, I guess I could cut that so it sat on top of some quarter round, I'm really not sure.

I'm having a problem visualizing that, some pics would definitely help. When you install it along your cabinets, can't you just lay the laminate, then nail the quarter round into the base board that's under the cabinets?

I notice the lowe's stuff (pergo brand) is about the same price, but comes with the backing stuff already attached. That's about as far as I've looked into it.

What backing stuff? They're supposed to come with a tracking, but as far as I know, all the stores sell them. Some of the laminate companies (pergo & mohawk) require the store to make them separate items to sell, while other laminate companies (shaw & quickstep) include the tracking with the price of the molding.
As far as the tracking is concerned, you would either nail that down, or glue it down, then the molding should just snap right in place.
