I just saw your thread and wanted to share... We do cloth and we looove it! I only did it partially with ds1 because I was a single mom and everyone told me I was nuts...but it is honestly so easy and I wish I hadn't listened to them! I started with pocket diapers and learned quickly that I didn't like them :/ all of the stuffing and un-stuffing of the diapers was time consuming and when runny poop went up the back over the opening, well, poopy fingers.
What we use (and love) now are bamboo flats and bamboo prefolds. The flats are awesome because there are only 2 sizes, and we will fold them into a diaper shape out of the wash (the one we use is called the diaper bag fold.. youtube
) and put them in the drawer.. Then we just have to slide them on, snappi, and put on a cover. With ds1 I had so many disposable diaper blowouts, that boy could poop up to his neck almost every diaper change...so really I was dealing with poop more than I would have with the cloth diapers that would have held it in so much better. We almost never get diaper leaks, but with babies comes poop and poop can be unpredictable!
In addition to the flat diapers, I bought a fleece throw blanket at Walmart for $2.50 and I cut it into rectangles.. I put a rectangle into the diaper when we fold it, then when we put it on him it is already there. It catches all of the poop and makes clean up so easy. My husband will drop the poopy diaper in the bathtub and I take care of it later. When your baby poops runny it is super easy to rinse the fleece insert off, a lot of people get a sprayer for the toilet but I just spray it out with our removable shower head in the bathtub (it all goes down the same pipes!) and when I put it in the wetbag, no poop smell! Disposables smell horrendous
When baby poops solids - You just take the fleece insert, hold it over the toilet, and it rolls off right into the toilet and flush! Then I rinse the insert if necessary.
The fleece insert is also great because it gives baby a stay dry feel, all moisture passes through and stays away from baby's skin.. very nice. Plus it is so cheap, if one gets gross and you don't want to deal with it, just toss it out!
My husband is also a fan of the flushable liners. People argue that you shouldn't flush them, but they are biodegradable and better for the environment than disposables for sure.. so just plop it in the toilet and flush, or in the trash.
If your husband is not loving the idea of the cloth, then pocket diapers may be easiest for him (while still being cost effective). You just prep them out of the dryer and he puts it on like a regular diaper. If cost is less of an issue, there are All In One diapers, they are already one piece and where I buy they start at about $17 each.
I really suggest checking out Diaper Junction, I love their products (all of the Diaper Rite products made by them are amazing) and they sell great quality with amazing customer service. They also have a group on Facebook called Diaper Junkies with a bunch of supportive cloth diapering women (and some men!) The women that run the site also frequent the group and they are really great too.. always willing to help.
They do a points system too so when you buy you earn points to use toward items later, and they have something called What The Fluff where you order an item blindly (still picking the gender and type of item) for a percentage off, and they always send something great
I can order covers for less than $8! Also great free items when you spend a certain amount.
One more little tip... When starting out, if you are interested in trying flats, you can start with towels from the regular store (I bought from Walmart) called Flour Sack Towels. It is like a cheap bar towel, or a cheap restaurant napkin... We got 10 for like $5. You just wash a few times and fold into a diaper shape (youtube
) and though they are less absorbent you can double them up or at least see if you want to make the commitment to getting some better quality ones.
Oh, and for detergent, we found that we like Gain with Oxyclean
I used to buy the expensive cloth diapering detergent but it was unnecessary! A lot of people like Tide or Foca... Powdered detergent is better if you have hard water.
Sorry this post is so long, I just wanted to give some info into the cloth diapering world because we love it so much
And plus, they're so cute!

Don't know why the pics are sideways... but those are both Buttons covers, they also get very small to use during the newborn stage if you don't want a newborn stash.
Meanwhile, I also bought a yard of 100% cotton fabric and half yard of bamboo/cotton fabric to do some cloth wipes. The fleece is for the stay dry liners. (I just love the idea of having so much benefits from this liners and also being able to use any kind of diaper cream) 
). Our Walmart has been out of the cheap blankets too
