We've used four kinds of disposable nappies so far:
I'd classify them into 'Huggies' and 'the rest'. The Huggies appear to be the best-constructed with the stretchiest elastic and best velcro-like tabs. However 'the rest' were all equally as efficient.
We have used disposables consistently for night-time and outings plus my husband prefers the Moltex when he does changes (he has a free pass on cloth nappies).
I have read in multiple places 'not to bother' with cheaper brands, but anecdotal evidence from mothers' group plus using these four products suggests there isn't much difference between them.
When choosing an 'eco' disposable, we slightly prefer the Moltex over the Bambo but given the Bambo is slightly cheaper, I would definitely recommend either. However, if you use 'eco' disposables you need to compost them for any real environmental benefit. See the Moreland Energy Foundation 'Energy for Babies Kit'.
