Started with leather, now use mainly iron, alhough i have been wearing some diamond armour which has fire pro enchantment on it because i've been building in the nether. I actually managed to get a mob drop the other day of some chain mail boots, and i now have a complete set of it undamaged. I also have a ton of gold armour from mob drops, but never wear it, just hoping one day minecraft will introduce some kind of recycling system in which you can get partial ingots or nuggets back from smelting armour ...

I think thats a good idea. You should put that in suggestions
I don't stick with worlds that long since updates change the possibilities and I like keeping it new, so iron is easy to get. I'll usually have a diamond set for enchanting and wearing to the nether when it is time but in the main world I think iron is enough

With the current state of the game it pretty much comes down to a choice between diamond and iron and given that iron is so common it's generally more appealing. Personally I only do the boots, leggings and armor. I skip the helmet because I don't think it's worth the amount of iron I put into it, plus it covers up my face.
Oddly enough, leather seems to be much harder to get than iron, even though it's a renewable resource. You'd have to keep a ranch full of 30 or so cows to make it viable and I don't think many people have the landscape or patience for that. And just imagine all the raw steaks you'd have left over. They need to change it so that cows start droping more leather. A lot more. At least 4 per cow.
Gold could potentially become an option under the right circumstances. If I could figure out how to make a zombie pigman farm I'd end up with a reliable and renewable supply of gold.
Chain is a renewable armor, pretty cheap too, just like 5-7 emeralds.
I usually wear iron armour with Feather Falling IV Fire Protection IV diamond boots. But in case somebody on the server I am playing on challenges me to a duel, I have a Protection IV Unbreaking III diamond armour set.

Type? Diamond.
Reason? All of the above, really - it looks cool, it gives the best protection, and with my villager trading system and sugar cane farm I've got an endless supply of it.
Iron armour, because I always feel bad about using my precious diamonds for armor. I have a nearly endless supply of iron, and with a few enchants it is stronger than non-enchant diamond!
Diamond if I have tons of spare.
Only gold if something like I'm one short for iron boots but I have enough gold.
No armor. In survival hard mode. Because that's how I *roll*.
....And because I tend to derp to death more than get killed by monsters.

Just give me motion.

Leather if I want to dye it and be colourful.

In modded, I use Thaumaturge's robes and Goggles of Revealing for the same reasons as above as well as the Vis discount.
