    I've heard that they'll "quilt up" faster with drying inbetween. I've also heard that some brands don't take as many cycles to be absorbant.

    I'm getting GMD prefolds.I'm going to boil them once and then wash and dry once or twice.

    Complete wash/dry cycles yield better results.

    Yep.  The drying quilts them up nicely.

    Since you'll be diapering a newborn I'd wash 3 times, dry, wash 3 times.  Once you're using them as diapers you will be changing SO often that they will get washed plenty.  And quickly.
