We used cloth on our kids. When we had the twins, the oldest had finished potty training. We had a service for them but not for the first.
You will be using the washer a LOT. Get used to it. As has been said, do not use a large diaper pail. Soggy diapers are as heavy as plain water - at 8 lb per gallon.
When rinsing out poopy diapers, grab hold of a corner REALLY WELL. We lost a few down the toilet during the rinse. THat can plug up the pipes and cause a huge plumbing bill.
That is about all i can remember at this point.
