You can clean and maintain the leather yourself, you probably would have to get a pro to clean the cloth...

i prefer cloth seats, if i ever switch out my stock ones for aftermarket it will be that.

by cloth seats i mean seats that have a nice mesh design for the back and seude on the sides.

leather is too slippery, and is too extreme (extremely cold when cold, extremely hot when hot).

cloth grips better, isn't affected by temperature as much, and is usually cheaper. leather gets cracks when it starts to wear, cloth doesnt really show any signs of wear until it tears.. which won't happen unless you carelessly get in and out of your car all the time.
