AIO suggestions?

When I was pregnant I spent ages researching which nappies I thought would best suit us, tried a couple and settled, very happily on Bamboozles. I now have 1yr old twins and have less researching time so thought I'd ask here for advice.

Even the smaller boy is really now too big for the size 1's so I need more nappies. Was planning to get more in size 2, but they are hard to come by (at a decent price secondhand anyway) and I have started to think about alternatives.

The boys will be starting at nursery 3 days a week in September and are with their grandparents one day. So I'm thinking some all in ones might make life simpler (gps use disposables at the moment - I'd like to convert them). They wouldn't have to dry fast and would only be used during the day. My boys are quite long and thin so any recommendations of good AIO nappies? I'd like them to last until potty training and be popular enough that I can find them second hand.

Look forward to hearing your suggestions.

I'm going to get a reputation on here for being a BG bore but honestly Bum genius one size pocket napies are so so easy to use - suitable for nursery, grandparents etc. I haven't tried their AIO but the pockets are quick to dry because the pocket insert comes out to dry. They are also really easy to boost as well if you need a little bit extra.
The v3 which I use are now discontinued, I haven't looked to see if there are many second hand for sale right now (all mine are second hand and I'm using them on number 2 now) but I know that because v4 have been launched there are big reductions on the sale of new v3s while shops clear their stock. The v3 (and v4s) are birth to potty so would do you right through.
You say drying time isn't important but with twins and slow drying nappies you would need even more just to keep on top surely and that would add to your overall costs?

Smacs - I have managed to fit in a bit of research and was already looking out for bumgenius AIOs. I'll go have a look at the logistics of the pocket version. Thanks.

Don't need quick driers as they will only be used for 2 changes a day for 3 days (only at nursery 2 days - must have been having that nightmare about working full-time again) giving them 4 1/2 days to dry. I need about 10 more nappies - I know that doesn't quite add up, but I'll see how it goes.

Would still welcome any other suggestions?

I love the new Totsbots Easyfit V2 we previously used bamboozles but these have now taken over as our main nappy of choice. DD loves them too as she can choose her favorite pattern.

Another bumgenius vote here - use them for nursery, but still use bamboozles and wraps for home most of the time.
