In favor of "exit" over "leave" I have only two arguments. First, I just like "exit" better. Hmm... didn't find that compelling? I was afraid of that.
I have a pretty simple reason for liking the enter/exit pair over the enter/leave pair.
In the former case, both words start with the letter 'e', providing an obvious visual pairing that doesn't exist in the latter case. Since we're talking about source code, the visual mnemonic means more to me than the exact semantics of the actual words.
Cheers, Nick.
