Default to suede or not to suede

im looking to getting my stock seats redone in leather (either black or red) with perforated inserts (either black or red)

do you guys think its worth going suede for the inserts as opposed to regular leather? i know suede is more expensive, but im looking more towards durability and easy of cleaning.


extra thought... if i do end up going red seats, i will have my door panel inserts redone in the same exact way to try and get the interior to be somewhat matching.

or you could just wrap yourself in alcantara, that would be pimp. then everywhere you sit will be wrapped up nicely in alcantara.

Think it would wear quickly... Maybe not but I just see how the leather in our car wears and I think that would wear even faster and prob look a lot worst when worn then worn leather. The whole alcantara looks sick IMO if done tastefully but I was always afraid of the wearing end of it
