I use rubber cement and then stitch it.  However, I just use a few dabs here and there.  If you use much it can squeeze out and that's aggravating when you are slicking the edges.  I use just enought to hold the pieces together.

As for staining I agree it's personal preference.  I've used clear oil on projects that will get a lot of wear and tear outdoors without a stain.  It'll darken the leather somewhat but seems pretty durable.  Some say that will affect the stitches but I haven't had any problems there.
