which is best?

Hi, I've decided to change to clothe nappies and I am wondering what ones people consider to be the best. I need one that is very absorbant as my boy seems to have a huge bladder! And of course it must contain those runny bm poos.
I'd love to hear your opinions

Thanks Bizzy, I've had a good look around and if possible I think I may be even more confused than before!

So my questions changed
What clothe nappy do you use and why?

Yup, it's mega confusing but I ended up buying a few types on recommendations from friends then deciding which ones I liked and wanted more of. I've bought all of them second hand off Trademe. Here's some of the ones I've tried.

Itti bitti's; I've found them to be a bit leaky for poos and don't last as long as some of the other nappies for wees, even with a booster. But I like them because they're incredibly cute and smaller between the leg/lower at the front so I feel they let baby wriggle her legs around more than some of the other chunky nappies.
Fuzzi bunz pockets; I absolutely love these. You can add lots of boosters and inserts if needed and I find they rarely leak and my girl is a monumental wetter. I have just bought some more in the next size up.
Prefolds with covers. I have super brite covers (check the snazzipant site) that have a double elastic around the leg. I don't do any tricky folding, just the standard trifold. I need boosters for Kiara as well but the super brite covers are brilliant at containing even the most horrendous of poosplosions.
Ecobubs wool pockets. I've just ordered 2 brand new ones (horrendously expensive but good resale value) as I've heard great things about them as a night time nappy that needs to last a long time.
Snazzipants AOI. Good night time nappy but need a cover over them. I like them but for no particular reason I don't love them.
Pea Pods. I like the insert but I always end up with leaks. I'm not sure why though. Shame because these are a relatively cheap pocket nappy.

Thanks! that's very helpful.
I did look at the Snazzipants website and it was great but just as I thought I'd decided what I wanted I'd read more and get confused again!
I think I might try a few different ones and see what works for my boy as it sounds like different nappies work for different babies.

We use homemade pockets and itti bittis AIOs during the day (but prefer the pockets) and use ecobubs wool at nights

If you have a sewing machine you can make your own pockets really cheaply...

In my trials and errors I have found fitted nappies to be the best for heavy wetters, BM poos and for nights.

I've been using Snazzipants fitted (cotton) and Bummis covers on my girl since she was newborn. I've tried a few (OK more than a few) different types of nappies and actually wish I'd brought TotsBots nappies (bamboo) as they are more absorbent (note: more absorbent means slightly longer drying time) and I like the fit of them better on my girl. The sizing seems to last a little bit longer than the Snazzipants ones - my girl isn't massive but probably above average for her age.

You could also look at a hemp fitted nappy which drys quicker than bamboo and is more absorbent than cotton. Baby BeeHinds do a good fitted One-Size-Fits-Most Hemp and Bamboo nappy.

If you are after some of these or some more info have a look at my website:
