I saw your post on the CD board! Welcome to a new obsession!!!
I recommend you start with just prefolds and covers for the bulk of your stash. They are cheapest and the least confusing way to start!
As I started getting more confident in "knowing" what types of diapers there were, I started looking into All in ones (no cover or insert needed) because they seem easy. They are a bit more expensive. But buying them 2nd hand or on eBay is a great idea to have a stash that is made up of different types of diapers so you know which ones work best for your LO bec every LO is different. Also for specific reviews as you are researching you can check out this Google Doc
and for the abbreviations check out this one:
