Default If you could only have 1 diaper - What is it?

I am beginning to feel overwhelmed myself with all the diaper choices out there. Everytime I think I've found the perfect diaper - something happens, I change my mind, I decide its too bulky, it leaves marks, it leaks, etc.
So, if you could only have 1 diaper what would you choose? I am very torn, I would either choose a Fuzzy Bunz or Heavenly Heiny, I think. But...I've been favoring fitteds and covers (esp. wool) lately.... well, its a dilemma...:)

I am so inept at pocket diapering. Poor Ds has had 3 nighttime leaks with them. He never had any before! I'm getting better, but Dh has been scared off and won't use any pocket diapers!

1 diaper ONLY? Maybe Sugar Peas, but I'd have to be allowed a doubler for trips or nights. Also Liz's Cloth with the same caveat.


edited: Changed my mind, if I can only pick one, then I pick a Custom Cuddlebuns (for a higher rise) with microfleece inside.

Crickett's hemp - but the old ones, not the new ones. The new ones are bulkier, especially the snap-in doubler, and I'm just not as crazy about them yet (unfortunately I bought a dozen, not knowing they were changing...). Maybe after a few more washes, they've only been through the machine a couple of times now. Or maybe I just need to figure out a different secret about them.

That said, I'm starting to like Fuzzi Bunz more and more - they are serving us very well at night, stuffed with two Joeybunz and one Mom & Me Creations hemp soaker. The diaper weighs a ton in the morning but Colin is still pretty dry.

How do you like the Liz's Cloth? I've thought about getting one to try. Is it just like a Crickett's? Different? Oh..please let me know. I also am craving a Sugar Peas, but thats just because it seems everyone has one ;)

If I were limited to one diaper, it would probably be a CPF. Sorry! :)

I didn't like Crickett's because the rise was too low. Liz's cloth is side-snapping and has a higher rise. I can't really compare absorbancy though...b/c I don't remember.

I just meant sorry that it wasn't more exciting! But I feel like they are the most versatile things out there!

I'm boring - Bumkins AIO

They really fit my DD well, haven't leaked once, and are just so darn easy!!
