I think it comes down to personal preference, mixed media can replicate the look of a shrunken down person, but sometimes it just looks like a nom possible doll. My favorite statues all have polystone outfits instead of cloth. Some prefer it the other way.
You are right about the quality of material, but even the best fabric is more prone to fading, dust, tearing, and falling apart, where as polystone is lasting other than the paint can fade in UV light.
