Cloth vs paper surround


Posting for a friend he is about to have new surrounds  on speakers,. the original speakers are paper the repair service said he could also go with cloth which will last much longer he's wondering if this will degrade the sound. Opinions or experience with this please.

AFAIK, the majority of the suspension comes from the spider next to the voice coil, not the surround, so they should be interchangeable in terms of driver performance .  I don’t know which is longer lived however.
