I definitely wouldn't say that they are for heavy wetters!! I get more time out of nearly every nappy (bar a bubblebubs) than what I did from my ittis (I don't have them anymore - cos DS just peed through them in about 1.5 hours). But its difficult to tell whether you have a heavy wetter or not if they aren't here yet My DD isn't a particularly heavy wetter during the day, but is at night - whereas DS is just an ongoing firehose.
For big wetters, I use baby beehinds fitteds and motherease rikki covers for DS mostly - and pockets like, ecobubs, green kids etc, cos I can put more in there and I know its not going to leak. Genesa Forge are good too - so are Twinkle Lily, Dragonfly Magik (WAHM's in Australia - hard to get hold of, but worth it!).
As for newborn nappies - I had probably around 30ish and it still wasn't enough - for me. I changed every 2 hours though because thats when she was feeding. Prefolds and covers would be your cheapest and probably best option for a newborn - I have lots more prefolds this time around, just need to convince DH that I need more covers
