Preparing for baby: what was YOUR preference for breast pumps?!

First time mum here 😊 I’m currently 29 weeks +6 and looking into breast pumps. There is so much conflicting information about this! Instead of trusting manufacturers on the internet I want to know what real mums actually use.. All the websites I’ve been on keep saying manual pumps are great, less painful and just as effective as electric! But then I spoke to my friend who said manual ones were really painful, uncomfortable and only delivered a small amount of milk (10ml) whereas an electric pump delivered much more (150ml)? I’ve also seen recommendations to start pumping before birth and/or also collect colostrum? I live in a Spanish speaking country so I’m not getting much info or help on this issue and hiring a lactation expert is not within my budget. Also I’ve never breastfed before, my boobs are not that big (originally A cup, now about a large B?) Help!
