Default Help with 2012 S4 options and some feedback

I'm considering buying a 2012 Audi S4 S-Tronic Prestige with:
PDU
Rear Side Airbags
Pwr Sun Shade for Rear Windows

What I'm not sure of is whether to go for Alcantara or Silk Nappa seats and in what color.
On one hand Silver or Red leather should be less hot than black and will likely look good, but I'm wondering if black (to show less wear) Alcantara seats might be a better choice to keep the driver planted in the seat (then again, there is decent bolstering)
For people that had experience with leather/Alcantara in this car, do you have any suggestions?
The other small item is the aluminum vs carbon fiber trim. It seems that the CF trim is covered by shiny plastic or something, so it may scratch easily.

Finally, I'm coming from a Lexus IS350, which (besides preventative repairs) never had a problem nearing 6th year. How is the reliability on the 2010+ S4 so far?
