It's never too late for cloth!! Even if you dont buy until #2 is born - you'll still get a combined total of say 4.5 yrs out of them.
If you're looking at using a simple system I think a lot of people would recommend a fitteds and covers system BabyBeehinds Bamboo nappies. BBH recommend 35 nappies for two in cloth and the you'd probably want 3-5 PUL covers and maybe some wool covers if you plan on using cloth once they're sleeping overnight (also some night boosters down the track!).
This amount of nappies would need to wash every second day. You may also want o get some Terry or Flanny flats for your newborn until she/he grows into the BBH's.
And maybe a couple of AIO's just for carers use.
If you were thinking pocket nappies I can recommend BumGenius V3.0. They're more quick drying than the Bamboo BBH but not suitable absorbency wise for night time use.
There are a LOT of nappies out there so it really depends whether you would prefer a system or a bit of everything but if you go the bit of everything route beware; its addictive
ETA: In terms of cost, try putting $25 a week aside for now that way that's ten nappies before baby comes and then you won't have to dig as deep into the 'bonus'.
Also, I forgot the BBH currently have Buy 2 get 1 free (don't know how long for) & they do a sixteen week layby as well.
