Sling for a newborn - no idea which one!

DC2 is due in May, DD will be 22mo then. I am keen to get a new sling as I only have a BabyBjorn and have mixed feelings about it now.
I've looked at pictures of different types of sling but really have no idea how to choose. I don't know yet if I'll need to bf in it but I guess it should be an option just in case.

I went to a local sling meet last year with DD but it wasn't actually that close to us, and also felt I wasn't 'slingy' enough for them Blush. I just want to carry my baby, not necessarily jabber on about it Grin no offence!

Would a Mei Tai be a good bet?

I had a variety with dd, and for the next, due in April I'm collecting now.

So far: 2 woven wraps (like Moby but not stretchy) in different fabrics, one stretchy, one short woven, one woven ring sling. Am on the lookout for another, torn between a He Porte Mon Bebe hybrid stretchy (cross between woven and stretchy, good to heavier weights and can back wrap) and another woven.

I found being able to wrap properly a life saver with dd, definitely worth persevering with!
