Wool covers, or PUL covers?

  I researched and researched trying wool with my night time routine but PUL won the battle b/c I didn?t want to trouble shoot wool issues (washing, felting, lanolizing?.).  I have enough on my plate with 3 LO?s, farm, work?  I have a mix of Econobum (large stuffed fitteds don?t fit very well with Eco) and Pro Wraps (fit perfect with large stuffed fitteds) covers but I?ve recently had to purchase Nappie pants b/c LO undoes the Velcro on the Pro Wraps when not wearing pants or a sleeper.

  I like both my wool and PUL equally.  At home I usually use wool covers, its easier to check if DS1 is wet, it breathes sooo much better so no rashes, and I made them from upcycling wool sweaters so I have more color/pattern choices. However if we are out of the house, I use PUL covers instead for the waterproof barrier, I'm too chicken to take him out in wool since he's a heavy wetter and I don't want compression leakage.  Wool upkeep is easy, I haven't had any issues and I only wash/lanolize when it gets stinky or soiled.  I haven't started wool with DS2 yet since we didn't start til DS1 was 6 months old, but I'm not sure I would do it yet anyway since we are in newborn EBF poo with every feeding. That would give me way too much laundry to do.
