Btw armour that is leather at lvl1-39 and mail from 40-80 will always change to mail on a lvl40 char no matter what the class.
To clarify a bit, mail heirlooms will
always
be mail for characters that cannot equip mail. Did that make any sense?
It didn't, did it?
Let me try again: if the alt you mail the (let's say mail) heirloom to cannot, at any level, equip mail, then the heirloom will remain mail.
If the character is a Shaman/Hunter and therefore can learn how to wear mail at level 40, then the heirloom will be leather before 40 and mail afterwards.
I'm actually not sure how it works for Paladins/Warriors since they can wear mail since level 1, but I assume they'll remain mail like they do for cloth/leather-wearing classes. Regardless, they can be equipped. Why you would want to use them is a totally different story.
tl;dr: if you only want to buy one set of heirlooms, buy leather. That way you can use them both on your Shaman and Druid.

Just to offer some advice.
On a hunter, or even an enhancement shamen, having 'leather' shoulders past level 40 isn't that big of a deal. I've used the same leather shoulders for 3 classes ( rogue, enhance shamen, and hunter) from 60-73 without any issues. The 10% bonus to exp is definitely worth the loss of some armor.
I think the chest piece might be more noticable though, especially on the enhance shaman who gets beat on a lot... i'd have no problem with a hunter past 40 using the leather chest.
