If you plan on diving, then a rubber or nylon strap would be better able to resist the affects of moisture in general, and especially sea-water. The great thing about straps (be they rubber, leather, etc.) is that they are cheap (unless you get them from Omega, which seems unnecessary), are easy to change, and can drastically change the appearance and effect of the watch (which can be for the better). Leather is dressier, a NATO-style strap can look tough and rugged.
