There are certain uses where rubber might be preferable, but I think better is pushing it. Leather looks smarter, so if your going for smartest of smart, leather every time, but if its shoes you're going to be walking outdoors in a lot then rubber or a rubber stick on over the leather will be more durable.
The other good thing about leather is, that during breaking-in, it moulds to your foot shape, whereas rubber bounces back to its moulded shape, a rubber sole might be more comfortable to begin, but after a few wearings leather beats it for comfort.
