Leather if I have some extra around, but I usually have nothing until iron or diamond. Gold is far too valuable for other machinery. Mocreatures mod has leather dropping from other animals and allows for croc armor too, so if a swamp's nearby, I generally go walkabout every so often.
I use a gold helmet, chain chest plate, diamond leggings, and leather boots. So I like all armor. And chain and iron are interchangeable in my oppinion
Hmmmmm. I have heard that gold has special proporties, and that you might get lucky if you use it (extra prot on a hit, extra damage with a sword) So Gold it is for me. If you are a good miner, it is not too hard to come by!

Ooooh... if I was in a Hunger Games situation, Gold definitely. Otherwise, neither. Gold does provide more protection, and it has better enchantablilty, but its durability is very low. Leather just sucks altogether because it provides almost zero protection and takes up a useful resource (leather makes books). If I had a choice on a survival world, I'd just save my resources and tough it out until I have enough iron for armour. In Hunger Games, anything is useful, and I'll take whatever I can get.

You look like a moron walking around on a server with leather armor.
Gold it is.

Leather is more easily acquired because friendly cow's spawn ALL over Minecraft. Gold 2x less rare than diamond, but still hard to find.
Gold does get great enchants but leather doesn't.
However, gold breaks easily after 1-2 minecraft days, since mobs spawn a bunch.
Leather breaks after a certain amount of time. 2-3 times as much longer than gold does.
Overall, I prefer leather, mainly because it lasts longer.
Heh, yeah I know.
