I'm talking skipping ropes.

plastic might break if you jump in it so I'd say leather plastic will be cheaper but it all depends on how much you use it daily= leather weekly=plastic hope that helps

It depends what you want. A good leather rope that is well taken care of will last forever, plus it will work your upper body muscles much more than a plastic rope. Also the rhythm you can sustain with leather is far better. (I prefer leather).
On the other hand, plastic is cheaper and you can buy a new one easierly when needed. If you are going to use it occasionally and briefly get plastic, if not, think about leather
One last thought, maybe you might be able to try one and the other and compare them at a local gym, sports store, or friend...?
Good luck

You can skip quicker with a light plastic speed rope, so get one of those.

Leather is more durable but costs more. Plastic is far better for speed and tricks.
Both will get you fit and they both hurt when they tangle and hit you by accident
