Re: Recliner vs club chair ottoman / fabric vs leather
Club chairs are stronger, and good ones have 8-way hand tied suspension which is the gold standard for comfort as well. Recliners have the mechanism as the weak point in their build and have to have the suspension incorporated into the mechanism as its moving. Tilt back chairs are very nice, I like them - but B-Y units are never as comfortable as the Hancock and Moore ones, they always see to "miss" in pitch angles or core density balance. When I have them next to one another in the store, 90% of customers will pay the extra for H&M as it just feels better.
Leather is the best way to go - by far - for durability in high use environments.
You can do one of each, chairs don't have to match. Keep the visual weight the same and you can have one recliner, one chair and ottoman. Good luck!
