Good for you for considering cloth
I've only been using cloth on my 10 month old for about a couple months and will NEVER got back to diaposables.
I have tried soo many kinds and find myself using prefolds folded and laid in a velro wrap diaper cover. I have Fuzzi Bunz, and fitted, which are nic, but the Prefolds in wraps are my favorite. Never get stinky, easy to use. I would suggest a few fitteds or Fuzi Bunz for nights though.
This company has a great paper catalog that teaches you how to cloth diaper. I still love flipping through it. (not affiliated, just liek the company)
