Jumping in in case it is helpful! (I keep an eye on used diaper sales bc I eventually have to unload mine)
I used AIOs and had a front loader and did my wash every 3 or so days. I used PlanetWise wetbags and zipped in between changes. Odor wasn't too bad!
I did one rinse load and a "sanitize" cycle (setting on my machine), with extra rinse. I do think with the first baby, and your first cloth diaper experience, that AIOs or easy hybrid/pockets are a good way of "trying it out." Just my two cents, though. I started with AIOs/BumGenius "Flips" hybrids (they make organic cotton inserts, disposable inserts, and microfiber), then pockets, then added cotton with wool longies (knitted pants).
