If you will be using daycare, most likely the decision will
be effectively made by you daycare provider.

Assuming that cloth diapers are more environmentally sound...
If you are lucky enough to find daycare that uses cloth diapers
you will save some money.  With one kid the cost is about the
same for cloth or disp. when using a service.  With two or more
kids, the cost drops a lot.  However, if you use diaper wraps
for the cloth diapers there is an initial investment.

You will have to change the cloth diapers more often, but
some people believe that kids in cloth are potty trained earlier.
I use disposibles for the first couple of months since my kids
seem to pee (and eat) very often at that age.  I still use
disposibles at night on my 6mo old, when she is dry through the
night I will change to cloth.  We also use disposibles on 
occasion when we are away from home.

Some kids get rashes in cloth, others in disposibles, so
that may also end up driving your decision.  BTW, congratulations!
