Doeskin. More comfortable, and absorbs a direct hit better than plastic. Tried leather pads once, did not last one season. I have a set of plastic pads in my bag as a backup in case of a failure, although not really needed anymore because I bought a second mask on sale and now rotate masks according to shirt color, but I did change pads once this year for a tournament game that was rain delayed for over an hour, moved to another site, and while I was dressing it was still raining, although lightly. I did not want to go out in the rain in my doeskins.
