One other advantage of leather is usually less static buildup. I used to get shocked nearly every time I got out of my car with cloth seats in the dry Colorado environment, and that issue went away when I got leather seats in the next car.
I think that has more to do with the car rather than the upholstery material. When I was a teenager, my mom had a car with leather upholstery and it shocked me nearly every time I got out of the car, once through a leather jacket; the spark left a hole in the jacket. My car with cloth upholstery never shocked me.
