Leather
I have the lariat package and in my opinion i'd much rather have cloth seats. If you want leather though and u know someone selling their seats then go ahead. its what u want/like. I had rubber flooring in my 98 GMC and i loved it. if my carpet ever got super dirty and i was going to replace it then I'd put the rubber flooring in
I love my leather as far as stain and water resistance, but it does not last as long as cloth. If you are getting muddy and spend a lot of time in the woods get the rubber floor mats, totally worth it.
how much did those cost? i want to get some nice seat covers. do you havethe captain chairs with the headrest and seat one piece or do you have the chairs with seperate headrest?

It's all about finding the right deal. There was a member on the old forum that picked up two great condition expedition front leather captain's chairs for $200 (pair) from the salvage yard and ordered the expy center console, and it looked awesome in his truck.
I had a similar stroke of luck on my 99' Lariat... the driver's side leather was coming apart at the seams and needed to be recovered. On ebay I found a upholstery shop going out of business and they listed a set of katskin leather seat covers for an 01' Supercrew. The seat pattern was identical to mine but Katskin gives a very clear warning that their kits WILL NOT FIT a factory leather seat, just the cloth ones. I bid $150 figuring if I lost, I could make it back selling them. Sure enough, I won them for $150 shipped. Took the covers down to the local upholstery shop and they installed the covers in about two hours without any problems.
I've had 4 vehicles now with leather seats and they are higher maintenance and they do damage easier than cloth but they do make the interior much nicer.
