A ring sling is my first recommendation as it is a lot more adjustable and easy to switch between snuggling and to sit them up, lie them down and feeding. Very handy for in the hosue with fractious demanding toddler as it leaves hadns free to control play with them
For long walks or longer trips then a stratchy wrap is good, but be prepared for it to stop being so supportive once they reach 3 or 4 months and get some weight on them!

If you go onto you tube and search 'nursing in a wrap' or 'nursing in a sling' then there are lots of vids so you can see what woudl be best for you

I used a ring sling for bfing in too. The only caveat is that you need an open tailed sling like the Ellaroo, so that the top and bottom rails can be adjusted independantly

I bought a Hugababy and found it completely useless - i really needed a hands free solution. Other threads here mention the Mai Tai and Ergo (not sure of spelling) as being very useful. Difficult to try before you buy but be careful - some are very expensive.
