Sorry if this answer is too late but maybe I can help.
Personally we had be loved our Charlie Bananas since the very beginning. They are super adjustable - the rise is altered with elastic instead of poppers so you can get it exactly right. They have been great on our long skinny boy. They make up about half our stash.
I am also loving our one Milovia at the moment, and Wonderoo.
I have gone off our Little Lamb pockets.
Things change as the baby grows. They won't always grow up and out, sometimes they'll get longer and thinner, or stay the same length for a bit but get chubbier. So it's good to have a variety of nappies and go in with a flexible mindset!
Do you have a local nappy library? Ours was really helpful, they gave me lots of nappies to try and ended up giving me about the same amount again of nappies to keep for free. They can check fit and your boosting combination. I also visited The Nappy Lady, which is a good option if you're local to her.
Also www.goreal.org.uk lists nappy trials in local areas, so that's a good option. Individual brands do trial packs, but they can be like £100, or I think sites like www.fill-your-pants.co.uk do trial packs of a variety of brands?
Night nappies - we've always used TotsBots bamboozles, used to boost them with a prefold and then just a hemp insert (on the outside of the nappy to keep things more comfortable and keep the nappy fitting well round the legs). Now he is not having night feeds and sleeping 6pm-5am, we only need the bamboozle itself. Used to use little lamb or Totsbots wraps, but we have used wool shorties for the last few months. We also use a fleece liner to keep the skin dry, and a disposable liner on top of that in case he poos.
