For those of you w/ animals, what type of leather did you purchase? Semi-aniline leather, Aniline, Pigmented/Topcoat, Nubuck/Suede, etc?

Also, do you think there is a particular color that does not show wear and tear readily?

Also, what brands? i.e., Ashley Furniture, Broyhill, Lane, etc.?

Thank you for helping w/ my research as I would like a new sofa, my present sofa is 13 years old and the springs pop!
