what pins are best?

[Mom2SammyJoe]

I am a Snappie mom all the way, but I have never had good pins to use. I have Gerbers with plastic heads, and they just never slid through a prefold very well, so we haven't really used them. I would like to learn, though.
I am putting together a starter stash for my sister, and I'd like to get her some pins as well as a Snappie to use with prefolds. Are Dritz the best? What about these?

I can't really tell the difference.
What are your favorite?
Thanks

I got a all metal set when I bought my diapers but the locking heads wouldn't stay down so I didn't use them. Then I went to Joanns and got the Dritz pins and really like them. They have the plastic cover over a metal head that locks and they actually stay locked. Plus they are so cheap!

But I used gerber for a yr lol. I knew I didn't like them but I hadn't found the world of cloth diapering on the internet.

I don't know about brands but I despise the plastic ones that you have push waaaay in to get around the plastic. The metal ones that the heads slide up & down to lock are definitely the way to go.

My favorites are Dritz diaper pins that I buy at my local Hancock Fabrics. But, my mom has a hard time with them, so I'm thinking about opening the package of Gerber pins someone gave me when I was pregnant and seeing if those are more like the ones she used on me.
