Default Suede Upholstery

I'm getting ready to do a suede headliner, but want to be sure I have a decent queality suede material, could someone point me in the right direction just so it doesen't end up looking like crap. I'm leaning towards this right now : Faux Suede , has anyone tried this ?

I have Black leather seats and a slate "Suede" inlay in the centers. Its a very nice material and easy to clean. I got them from Katzkin and they call it Suedezkin.....katzkin.com

definitely go with the fake suede...ether that stuff or ultrasuede is good...also microfiber is a good way to go. i got that in my car. it looks and feels just like real suede but it wears alot better.

Ok, I'm looking at this suede , its the microfiber one, so i'm guessing it'll be softer and nicer to the touch, also this one stretches so it should be easier to apply. Looks good ? Oh and I found some ultrasuede , but that stuff seems wicked expensive. If anyone has pointers or could give me a linky to some decent stuff they used, please feel free.
