Please tell me about new baby sleeping options

We're currently deciding what to get for the baby to sleep in and I'm pretty confused by what seems to be quite a few different options.

From what I've seen so far the main options are Moses basket, bedside cot or crib, co-sleeping or one of those hammock things. Have I missed anything?

I am just looking for different views on advantages and disadvantages on the various things out there. We had been thinking of getting a bedside cot but I'm also intrigued by the hammocks so any thoughts on those in particular would be good.

I used my hammock exclusively - not at all like a bouncer.

It's fine for middle of the night feeds. I kept the frame downstairs, and the hammock hung from our doorframe in the night as it then sat higher. I had an emcs, and found no issues with it swinging away etc. DS actually slept fantastically in it, and was the most contented newborn - shame the 4m sleep regression ended that!
