Both jackets are going to be fairly durable considering their construction and intended use. The Theta AR is a little heavier so it would probably edge ahead of the Theta SL in durability though. Comfortable and good looking are more for you to decide. I've worn a few Arc'teryx jackets over the years and I think they have all been good jackets to wear and they definitely always look nice. I'd recommend going with what your primary activities are. The Theta SL is their super light version. If you are a backpacker, doing some hiking, or just casual urban use this would probably be a good way to go. The Theta AR is an all around jacket more designed for mountain activities like climbing, mountaineering and such. It is a bit heavier than the SL so it would probably be a bit warmer and more durable for those activities. It also has a helmet compatible hood if you need that. So it really just kind of depends on what your use is going to be. Me personally, I'd probably go with the Theta AR because it would have the ability to be used in a wider array of activities but thats just me.
