Cherubs Kiss Aureals are my absolute fav, love the side snap and are just a fab fit for my DS. Ittis are our work horse nappy too, DH always reaches for the ittis.
If you want nappies for a toddler and a newborn, adjustable pockets are probably your best bet. I found all the OS AIOs/snap-ins and fitteds with the newborn fold-down that I tried had a ridiculously wide crotch for a newborn bub. Pockets are great cos you can put in a narrow little insert when they're teeny and need frequent changes, and beef them up easily when they start weeing more.
As for different brands - depends totally on the current shape of your baby! Mine is narrow crotch (so Ittis and Genesa Forge are way better than Baby Beehinds for us, and I haven't bothered trying GreenKids), chubby thighed but slim-waisted and with a long rise; I am still trying to find the ultimate AIO for this shape, hence current love of pockets.
Also, I found this 'name your top 3' thread on the essential baby forums was a useful survey.

(mods, I hope this is ok as it is not a commercial link?)
Has anyone put together a list or poll like this on BB?
