I do plan on using disposables for outings and stuff, and we sell chlorine free diapers where I work, so I figure I'll give those a try.
I have the one-sized diapers from BumGenius and medium FuzziBunz. The mediums fit Nathan when he was about 4 months old and they still fit with room to grow. I used Seventh Generation chlorine free diapers in the early months and really liked them. They're hard to find around here though so once Nathan was older I started using Huggies for the occasions I actually put him in a deposable. I'd probably still be using the chlorine free diapers if they were easier to find. My grocery store sells other 7th Gen. products, but not their diapers yet, I'm hoping they'll have them before I have another baby.

I use and love Seventh Generation wipes! I order them in bulk from Amazon. I may go with cloth wipes when we have another baby though, we'll see.

The inserts take a long time to dry so you may want to either buy or sew some extra inserts for the diapers. The diapers themselves dry pretty quickly.

Also the laundry soap you use on your diapers is important. I use http://Charlie's Soap. I've heard good things about http://Allen's Naturally too.

Also you can't use diaper rash ointment with cloth diapers so keeping disposables around incase of a rash is a good idea. Rashes aren't too common with cloth though! Nathan's really never had a diaper rash. He's gotten a little red a few times and we've put rash ointment and a disposable on him just so it didn't turn into a rash and it never has.
