I can't say how both will wear over time, I'd guess probably similar. I just couldn't get my head around ordering a $55k car that came with faux leather.
Alcantara on the other hand I would stay away from on any high touch surfaces. It will suck up any sort of dirt and oils from skin permanently and never look the same. It would probably be okay for a seat inlay on a non-rub seat surface.

I agree on avoiding Alcantara on any high-touch surfaces like the steering wheel or shift knob. I always thought I would never order Alcantara on any car, but my '16 Porsche 981 Spyder has it on the seat centers (purchased used). So far I really love it, mostly because it keeps me in place much better than leather or vinyl/Sensatec would.
The whole interior choice is the same as exterior color choice: it's your car, get what you like.
