Either one is reasonable.

Even weirder in the my version (a few days old), type "I am here".  The
double quotes get changed to two left quotes, which then trigger the `I
substitution and you get `\int...

Also fix for `I (which gives int).  The others (lines 90-116 in my
main.vim) might occur, but are less likely.  If the fix is easy, fix for
them also.

The issue of what to use as a Tex_Leader is interesting.  Some years
ago, I did my own mappings (when vim was much more primative) with ",". 
The idea is that in English a comma is almost always followed by
whitespace.  The same holds true for semi-colon ";".  Both make good
leaders.  A period "." can also be used (as in nroff)

The recognition of both "," and ";" can be improved if you require
whitespace (or first character of new line) before expanding the macro.

A left quote is a little more problematic.  It is used for diacritical
marks (as you note) and for double left quotes in Latex.  Many
experienced latex authors automatically type `` at the beginning of a
quote.

If this were a brand new project, I'd suggest using one of "," or ";"
for latex-suite macros and leaving the other one for user defined
macros.

Some bugs:  When I type `i or `j or `o (letters not in greek) I get an
error: Undefined variable s:greek_i etc. instead of `i etc.
