Default Help, am I lost in tiny town here?

I'm going to make a couple more panel beaters' bags from 1/16" couch leather. My question is: should I leave the tanned side out, or in? I see most commercial bags are suede finish, but is that just a cheaper way to buy heavy leather? I have a couple bags already, one's suede side out, another's tanned side out. I've used both enough, but cannot tell the difference. However, I am an amateur, so still learning.

Any sound answers or a search and rescue team would be welcome here.
