Cement bricks are generally stronger than clay bricks and more affordable. They do however not have the aesthetic value of most clay bricks therefor mostly require the wall to be plastered.
Clay bricks on the other hand is strong enough and is split into separate categories of their own from face bricks, semi-face bricks and stock bricks. With face bricks being more expensive and have much more aesthetic value, these walls are almost never plastered and the bricks are always visible.
Whether you use clay bricks or cement bricks will mostly depend on your budget, your need and what you want the building to look like.
