As far as diapers proper go, I'm a pre-fold girl all the way. Overnight, I put a bamboo fleece liner in. I have a half-dozen Kissaluv's Contours, but I haven't tried them since she was about 3 weeks old and they completely swam on her. I'll have to give them another try.
As for the covers, I hate.hate.hate the PUL that the Bummis SWW and SB have. It's so stiff and crinkly. I use the Thirsties when I need a back-up, because they're relatively soft, but they do occasionally leave marks on her legs.
My first love, however, is the Booroi. Beautiful, saturated colours, snaps with good adjustments, lovely soft PUL.. I just love them. They're sized, but the ranges are pretty large (the woman who owns my Favourite Local Diapering Store is still using a medium cover for her 18 month old daughter). There've been leaks onto the cover (but never outside, even with bad ones), but I haven't noticed any staining, probably since the trim isn't white.
I'm making my own diaper wipe potion, with lanolin, glycerine, baby wash, water and tea tree oil, which works beautifully (need to make up a batch tonight); I put it in the peri bottle the hospital gave me and spray it onto a bum cloth.
We use disposables when on the road, because I don't like the bulk that the cloth causes; it results in a 2 inch difference in how tight I can get the car seat harness, and I'm not ok with all that potentially compressible material.
