We have always used the Nuk as well. The LC ended up telling us that soothies were better for bf'ing, but he was hooked on the Nuk by then and we never had any problems thankfully.

DD will only take soothies. we tried nuk and playtex ones. i bought some gumdrops off ebay since they were like soothies, but smaller on her face and clipable. the problem with those is that they are took small on her face now and leave marks on her face after she sucks on them.
DD will only use the MAM pacifiers. She would take absolutely nothing else. Now, if I could just finally get her to break the habit. She loves her binkie at bedtime.
DD first loved the soothie because that's what they used at the hospital. I slowly weaned her to the Ortho type NUK for her teeth/mouth development or whatever. Sometimes it doesn't matter what kind you want to give them though, it's what they'll take!
