I do a fair amount of repair and to put it mildly I hate Neoprene pads.

I prefer cork pads in the upper register as well as the first finger key of the lower register. Once you set these properly the cork they should last for many years.

I also still prefer skin pads for the lower register. You have to be very careful when seeding them because the pads can get a bubble when heating them. You may have to go through 3 or 4 pads before you get them to seal.

I haven't used leather, so I can't faithfully express an honest opinion.
