Definitely the greenkids are my favourites. I did find when DD started crawling that they leaked a bit through the legs, but if I pull the nappy up a bit higher they're great - no leaks since.
Otherwise we've got a hautes, a BumG and happy heineys. Happy Heineys, but with greenkids inserts, would be the next best for us.
BumGs are great all round nappies, but I'd agree with Saram that the V2 hook and loop is not brilliant and I have noticed the elastic in the legs is not as springy as it was - after nearly 5 months of solid (full-time) use. But still no leaks, so they are doing their job!
Swaddlebees are lovely, especially the organic velour pockets. Really narrow crotch, good trim fit, but can be a bit of a pain to stuff (especially the small). ETA: I am really not feeling the Swaddlebees love atm. I just cannot get the hemp insert to sit flat, it either bunches up in the crotch or it shifts down at the front when I put it on. It has leaked three out of the last four times I have used it and I am well and truly over it. I'm experimenting with using a Lotus AIO butterfly insert inside the pocket and will see how that goes. If you want a really good AI2 with a nice narrow crotch like the swaddlebees - the Lotus AIO is really nice, it just doesn't have organic velour (microfleece instead).
Blueberries are gorgeous. They look fantastic but do the job seriously well. They are a similar crotch width to the BumG (ie: quite wide) but fit really nicely. We've only got one (sized, not the osfm) but I'd get more. The hemp/microfibre inserts are a nice design but I'd be inclined to use a bamboo trifold or something a little more absorbent for a heavy wetter.

: Added something...
Did V3 of BumG just come out? No one seems to have any conclusive information about them. If the complaints about V2 have been fixed, and V3 are one-size, then they seem almost too good to be true!
