I use both! Washables during the day and disposables at night. The washable ones don't last long enough for me overnight. I have the same washable ones as you described and yes, they do stand out a bit under some clothes so I wear the disposable ones in those instances.
I've tried SO many brands and my favourites ones are actually Johnson and Johnsons. I find they don't crease/fold up in your bra and they are super comfy and hold a lot of liquid. I leak terribly overnight and they have always contained my spills, LOL.
I have used Pigeon, Tommy Tipee, Medela and a few other brands and they are all brilliant for holding a lot of milk, I just found that they all fold/scrunch up too much and the absorbent inside of the pads tends to fold over making it uneven in your bra, if that makes sense. I haven't had that problem wit Johnson and Johnsons. The J&J don't have the sticky strip though but maybe that's what stops them from scrunching. I love them.

I dont' want to steal your thunder Maz LOL, but Bec, Twinklelily do cloth ones as well and if their breast pads are as comfy and gorgeous as their cloth menstrual pads then you can't go wrong with them
For disposable I really liked the Johnson and Johnson breast pads.
For reusable I loved Swaddlebees breast pads. They were bigger than others and stayed put during the night. They were very soft and moulded well to my shape, therefore unnoticeable, and they didn't stick to my nipples like some other reusable pads did. I highly recommend them.
Maybe start by buying a couple of different brands to try before investing in one brand. That's what I did.
