The cloth diaper dilemma

I've been doing a lot of cloth diaper research lately.
There are SO many options out there, and I just want to make the right choice for my baby and my lifestyle.
Originally, I planned on using pockets (BumGenius or Fuzzibunz) but I have since changed my mind. I'm moving more in the direction of using Cloth-eez prefolds from Green Mountain Diapers and covers.
Why? Well, they're simple to use, cheaper, they wash and dry quickly and easily, less bulky, and (from what I've read) they leak less. I love that you can simply wipe the cover clean and reuse it for multiple diaper changes. This cuts back on expense (less covers to buy) and laundry (less to wash). You can fit more into a diaper bag, as well.
The brands I plan to try:
Flip
Thirsties Duo Wrap
Bummis Super Brite
I'm having a hard time deciding between the three. I plan to try them all, but I'm a pretty "all or nothing" type of girl. I'd really like to have one big stash of ONE type of diaper.
What kind of cloth diapers do you prefer?
