It of course depends upon your location, the type of natural stone available locally and the particular brand of faux stone. As a rule, excluding granite, faux stone has less absorption than natural. Manufacturer's literature will list the data for their stone if they are a regional or national company. For natural stone, you can sometimes find data on it but will have to infer actual relevance.
Either way, it does not really matter, because the substrate is the actual moisture barrier, not the stone.
Re: Cost. Here in central Texas, real stone sawn for adhered applications is half the price of national manufacturer faux stone.
