17 or 18 years isn't terrible longevity for a driver side seat.
Your least expensive option would be a new leather cover for the butt cushion and a new butt cushion.
The Seat Shop leather is much better leather than the original with OEM fit using the same plastic clips and velcro that GM did.

You can re-use the seat heater pad on a new foam but if the seat heater looks rough just replace it or leave it out.

If you really want cloth I'd look into getting a full set of seats out of a donor truck. The cloth covers are not all available from GM and the quality of aftermarket cloth is pretty dismal and it'll be the most expensive option for you.
