I've been using cloth for 8 months, and still consider myself a newbie!!!

Everyone will want something different out of thier nappies babe.... I didn't want the hassle of fitteds and cloth, so I went mainly pockets and AIO's, in OSFA 's.... as I use them on a few kids!!

I am now slowly getting rid of my pockets, and buying aIO and AI2 only.. i love them and they work so well on my kids.... but, again, your kids may be different!!

I had a gorgeous cover given to me that I used over terry flats for newborn... and it has converted me.... I now have ordered more fitteds and covers!!!

I have a pretty even mixture of snaps and velcro... I like them both for different reasons!! Snaps wash better, but velcro gets a good fit....

I probably didn't help much, but you'll need to find the right one for you... some of the MCN shops sell packages with different types and brands, so you can try them all before you buy too many....

Good luck, and beware, buying gorgeous nappies can be addictive!!!
