Personally, I prefer rubber over leather as they are easier to maintain can clean and wash with soap on running water from time to time, cheaper to replace and it last longer! Sporty look as well!

good point, also what a paint in the butt to change the Strap and not scratch the SS

I like the idea of hornback but prefer the reality of smooth versatile rubber.

Both.. mix them up from time to time.

the only problem doing that is the task to avoid scratching the case or the screws, I bought from AP clear water a set of screws (4) I think for $69 +SH I'll put the new ones when the stock ones get scratched, also bought from AP bands the strap changer tool, it does help but its tricky to hold both the tool and the screw driver on the other side.

Definitely rubber. As other's have pointed out, rubber is far easier to maintain and typically have a significantly longer life.

Both. Hornback just looks awesome. Much better then rubber. But if you want to swim with it then rubber. You decide what looks better. I don’t have a picture with a good angle with the rubber on.
