Diaper recs?

We're slowly working through different brands of diapers, trying to find which we like the best... I'm running into a problem, though, because DS is so darn long and skinny (we call him our string bean) that diapers are often swimming on him. We had no choice but to move up to size 1s, since we were having regular leaks w/NB size, and he's been wearing size 1s for almost a month now, but we often end up w/the tabs overlapping and it just seems ridiculous!
So - that said, any recs for diaper brands that tend to work better for the long & skinny babies? We're talking no rolls on this kid anywhere!

Re: Diaper recs?
M was super skinny as a newborn, we used Pampers Swaddlers and I loved them! I also switched to cloth which is great.
Good luck!
I also have a string bean.
He just recently got like 3 rolls and I'm so proud of them, hahaha.
I loved Pampers Swaddlers too for NB and size 1. I also love the Huggies Little Snugglers now that he is in size 2.
Happy Birthday, little man. We love you so much!
My favorite money saving tip: I've earned more than $300 in gift cards (Amazon, Starbucks, Southwest!) using SwagBucks for internet searching - and you can too! It's FREE and EASY!
Luvs have really worked well for us, especially for DS1. He was (and still is) long and skinny. It also doesn't hurt that they are the least expensive of the brand names :-)
I like pampers the best. When we moved up sizes they were huge and overlapping and I don't see anything wrong with that. I've never had a leak from them or a blow out. I also CD some.
I'm moving my 3.5 mo old to size 3...yes rolls galore.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I had heard cloth is great for skinny babies... just wouldn't be feasible at this point for a variety of reasons, which is a shame because they're so economical. Maybe for LO #2 someday! Glad to hear we're not the only ones w/overlapping issues - I think more than the overlapping, the sides that cover half his thighs (the part that connects to the tabs) is what really seems goofy and just doesn't look comfy for him, but what do I know?!
A Pampers question - do the Swaddlers all have the mesh lining? The packs that the hospital gave us all had a mesh lining inside them that stuck to his bottom, leading DH to declare that they were awful (and, truthfully, I felt pretty bad peeling the mesh off of him for diaper changes, too!). DH ended up asking me to return the boxes of Pampers that we'd had because he hated the mesh lining that much, so I never used any beyond the hospital-issued Pampers.
... every single day of forever.
We have had great success with LUVs and at 10 cents cheaper per diaper the savings do add up.
I didn't like the smell of the Huggies, but I did like the umbilical cord notch. But since they are the same price as pampers, which didn't smell bad to me, I only used up what I got at my shower and didn't buy them again.
