Love the neocabby...The Saleya is great whether in azur or brown. In terms of practicality, the Saleya. I think is a more classic design, really. The neat thing about Damier canvas is that you can wipe more easily, then a denim. I know they treat the denim, but that's the neat thing about it. The color choice of the damier depends upon you. If you live in a warm climate, then you will get more use out of the brown than the Azur. I have worn the dark Damier at all times of the year (yes, even with pastels and khakhis in summer.) The leather on brown is more durable and water resistant. The Azur, I adore, but there is the thing with the vachetta on the bag and you will have keep after it more. (The Azur is not really white, but creamy with purple. It goes with tons of things, but I waited until spring to bring it out. Lots of comments on this, if you search the threatds. Good luck!
