I decided to wait until after DD #2 was born to get a crib since she was going to sleep in a bassinet at first anyway. I'm so glad I did because about a month after we brought the baby home DD #1 perfected climbing out of the crib. So we ended up getting DD #1 a toddler bed and handing down the crib to the baby. It was rough for a couple of weeks but it worked out. I had looked into getting a crib net but they're pretty pricey, plus the reviews said they don't work on convertible cribs which is what we have.

This is what we plan to do as well.

I'm thinking I'll get a portacrib of some sort. That way when we move DS to a bed, the baby can have his crib and we can use the portacrib for my parents' vacation home, rather than lugging a pack n play every time I go there.
I had a Pali for my daughter, liked it, and so got a Pali for my son. I considered getting a Pottery Barn Kids crib this time, but decided to stick with what I knew...
Re: what crib will you get for 2nd baby?
Ditto this.
We have it in Natural. I think for this LO I am going to get it in walnut with a matching dresser.
This is what we plan to do as well.
