What fabric weave is most durable?
Answers:
Assuming the same fabric content, the weave with the shortest "float"- thread span- will probably be the sturdiest. A jacquard or satin type weave, with long thread floats will snag more easily. The pile fabrics at the bottom, then jacquard or satin, then twill, then plain (1x1).
Trivia- for making Elizabethan corsets, twill weave isn't recommended, as it will stretch and warp under tension- which is part of why old blue jeans are so comfy... I use cotton duck (a plain weave, canvas-weight) for durability.

I personally supervised a department of fabric quality control. It's not as simple as answering your question because the fabric content is not being taken into consideration.
Lets say no your pile fabrics are less durable than a jacquard or dobby. As far as being more durable, I'd rather be caught between a plain weave of some non stretch fiber like cotton, but heavy like canvas, caught between like if I jumped out of a window 10 feet up, I'm not recommending trying this and no I haven't tried it either. Remember, as in durable the mummies in ancient Egypt were wrapped in linen with a plain basket weave, that lasted 1000's of years,right? So inclusion your question has been answered as best as I could.
