Racing seats if you are going for the sport or race look.
Leather if you want a more show appeal.
You will slide in leather so if you do a lot of cornering or any corner based racing keep this in mind.
My personal choice is race seats.

Racing seats... I love mine. Money well spent. They hold your ass in like some tightey whiteys...
Oh and even though I got non-reclinables, they are unusually comfy... i was very surprised because they only have like 1 1/2" of foam padding.

racing seats and a pair of leather pants 
if i were in your shoes id get my whole interior hooked up instead of just getting a pair of new seats.. it wouldnt look right with an ex interior and 2 racing seats unless it was gutted imo..

Depends... on today's cars it is getting to be more like that... but in a car like an Integra, where the whole interior is simple and plastic black, racing seats look like they belong there.

I bought my girlfriend a full leather set on ebay for $450.00 + $30.00 for shipping. It included everything & was pretty damn close in quality to my buddy's factory V6 leather. It cost me $100.00 to have a local upholstery shop put it all on.
Here's a link to their current auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2412274286
