black leather or else it's gay. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
black with silver suede inserts.
I would never put a light-colored suede anywhere that is going to be sat on, rubbed on a lot, or on an upward-facing flat surface where crumbs, dust, hair, lint, liquid, etc etc could possibly land on it, or where it could get scratched. It will look awesome for a while, maybe a year or two if you are really careful, and then it will probably start to look like junk.
Most of my interior is covered in black suede, but I just used two-tone leather on my seats.
Have you thought about doing black leather/black suede? Do you have a lot of gray interior pieces? Maybe do black/gray leather?
I don't think I would like the ostrich. But it's your car and I dig people doing unique stuff instead of just cloning the same things over and over.
If you do the suede, look into alcantara. It looks and feels exactly like suede, but is a lot more durable, stain-resistant, and it is cleanable. It also doesn't fray like other fabrics.

My interior is going to get done after the seats.. Right now it is jsut black with some of the instrument panel, door handles, cup holders etc being grey.. But my seats are black fabris with brown fabric inserts and they drive me nuts so christmas money is going towards that. Was considerin the black leather with black ostritch leather inserts becuase like you said its unique
Do some black on black suede, with some color stiching. I think it would look hot. Maybe pick an accent color that you have in your interior already for the stiching.

black leather/ silver inserts with silvr stitching
Yep. http://www.kristkustoms.com has a lot of different swatches you can check out. Faux croc, gator, rhino, etc. Something exotic will give your interior a bit of a different flair.
Suede is super played out, IMO. BUT, it still looks killer. Truthfully, I'll probably be doing a lot of faux suede in my car when I get the funds.
You can change stuff up with how the seams are stitched. French seams are the way to go, but I want to see more of a baseball style of stitch. I haven't seen much of that done.
