    Go with the hog rings for all the notes reasons. Metal zip ties have sharp edges and will rip out of the material. My Dad was an upholsterer also.

    Any seat I have worked on used hog rings. Installed and removed with hog ring pliers and cutters.

    seems stronger and more portable than zip ties.

    a good pair of hog rings pliers can reach into the tight space better than a hand can. And squeezes the hog ring tight to installed position. They are cheap.

    Oh yeah, hog rings are definitely stronger. I figure if I pop a zip tie, I'll just pull the seat again and fix it.
