PVC suits can be inflated tighter and since the material does not have much ability to stretch when compared to latex, the occupant may find it very difficult to move around depending on the level of inflation. Hence, PVC would be better for a more bondage like experience. Depending on the size, shape, and vinyl thickness, a PVC suit could even be inflated to the point that the occupant would not be able to move at all.
Latex suits are usually made with .4mm latex which is very flexible and stretchy compared to vinyl of the same gauge. Hence a latex suit made with that gauge of material, assuming that the limbs and such are not too fat, would allow the user to move around quite freely.
As far as durability goes, well, there are pros and cons to both. Latex suits use glued seams and joints, which are often not quite as sturdy as as welded seams on PVC suits. However, latex is more flexible and stretchy which implies that there would be less wear and tear on the joints and seams anyway. If one were trying to move around too much in a drum tight inflatable PVC suit, there would be more likelihood of a seam split or separation of an arm or leg.
But I think the biggest con to a PVC suits/pro to a latex suit is how the materials stand up to body oils and sweat. As anyone who is into inflatables should and likely does know, PVC doesn't like long term exposure to body oils and sweat. It tends to leach out plasticizers and cause the vinyl to get stiff and crack.
So it really depends on what you want. A good suit to wear for a longer period of time, to move better in, and worry less about degradation, latex is the way to go. If you want a suit that you can be sealed up in and inflated tighter to feel more pressure and perhaps tight enough to be more in the realm of bondage, PVC is the way to go. Either that of very thick latex which is very expensive.

Latex is much more supple and squishier compaired to PVC
and is ALOT easier to work with! my latex garments have just lasted longer than PVC, wich has a thicker and somewhat stiffer feel
but PVC is useually much smoother and your hand will glide over it, whereas latex your hand will catch agasint the material
PVC requires little to no prep work to put on, Latex involves some sort of lubrication, either baby powder or specific lubricants made for latex wear against the skin

That looks epic and sooooomygod adorable.
Attached head from the look of it too?
My first time with the roo was a bit rough just in that putting the suit on you're going to be wrestling around in the dark without much of an idea of where your head is supposed to end up. It can be a bit intimidating the first time as such (I started to get really claustrophobic) so definitely keep help around the first time. It also takes quite a bit of time for the suit to deflate on it's own so plan for a couple of hours of time to de-suit unless you have help to operate a pump. :)
