I have a Sakura Bloom and a Maya Wrap and love them both. I also have a Moby, which I don't like as much, and a Beco Gemini (which is lovely but I hardly ever used). With my older kids, I used New Native pouches, which IMO are nice but more difficult to learn to safely position a newborn in (and, for me, to nurse in).
I agree with the pp -- if you haven't used a ring sling before, it really helps to visit with someone who can help you position the sling and baby. There are also helpful videos, but I've found that most first timers are a lot more confident once they've had someone else check out their carry.

Don't be silly, your not hijacking I'm loving all the comments and opinions
I'm so lost, my gut says babysling or ring sling, but my head says ergo.
I was pretty certain on the babysling till I read some bad reviews.
There is nothing that I dislike about the ergo, but its the upright only position that makes me hesitant.
I love the cradling positions you can get with a sling, and well as the Buddha type sitting positions.
I really wish there was some way I could try them properly. I know I can try in a shop, but a quick 5mins with a doll, or even a newborn isn't going to give me a feel for what it's like using regularly.

I think you will read bad reviews for every type of carrier. My sister hated slings and was very vocal about it -- but she hated front carriers, too. She's a strictly stroller mama and that's what works best for her. I think that if you haven't used one, its hard to just get ONE style carrier -- it is hard to know which one you'll like until you really use them, and then you may find that love a sling or soft structured carrier but the baby may not, etc. Is there any way you can borrow one of each once the baby's here?

I wish I could shell! But none of my friends have carriers.
I don't think they are very popular here, least not where I am, I really don't see many at all, and the only ones I really see are baby Bjorn.Mummy to DS10 who is the light of our world

Here in the Netherlands (and I know there are also in Germany and probably also somewhere else) your can hire a 'carrier-consultant'. It is like a sort of babyshower, with all kind of carriers and wraps you can try. Maybe you can search the net for these consultants and then organize a party at your home?
