I started in cloth from the day DS came home from hospital, but use sposies from time to time. Mostly when he has a rash that just won't shift in cloth (even with liners), or if we are away from home for more than a few days and cloth is just not viable, although I have travelled with cloth a number of times and it's pretty easy as long as they can be dried if the weather is wet. For a few months we used them at night because for some unknown reason he was waking constantly in cloth, but sleeping through in sposies. He's back in cloth overnight now.
I only use the nature babycare sposies which is a good trade-off for me in terms of environmental and health benefits, apart from anything, DS reacts to other disposables. They are also expensive enough that I only use them if I need to. But I am finding that I am having to use them more frequently at present, as DS is rashing up constantly in cloth, no matter what I try. I suspect that it is the humidity here perhaps.
I used to get constant blowouts in sposies too, but now I just put a cover over the top and haven't had a blowout since.
