Default Which seat covers to buy...

I was going to get leather interior… but I have a dog that goes with me everywhere.
I can’t see dropping a grand on leather and then watching it get scratched up
with puppy toenails. At the same time I don’t want my new interior getting all
paw printed and hairy.
That leaves me with two options:
1) get rid of the dog
2) get seat covers.
Well number one is out of the question so seat covers it is!

Which ones should I get? I want something durable, good-looking, and
preferably waterproof. I’m not saying that cost isn’t a concern but I would be
willing to pay a premium to get what I want.
Anyone have any experience with those neoprene wetsuit ones? I saw some
called Wet Okole Hawaii ($500) that looked pretty nice, but how durable are
these? Will my dog’s toenails shred them?
Scion Shoppe has some nice ones too - at a better price ($220 + whatever
headrests cost). I don’t think these are waterproof though - guess I
could Scotchguard the heck out of them.
Any suggestions - especially from those of you that own them, would be
greatly appreciated.

Oh, and how hard are these to install? You should know that I usually need
help when screwing in a light bulb!

Thanks.
I did a search about seat covers before I posted and I read some really good reports about
the ones from Scion Shoppe. I also read some great reviews about the Wet Okole ones
too. However, I haven't read anything about how pet friendly they are.
