The lowest-environmental-impact choice is obviously no diaper at all: http://diaperfreebaby.org/

It may be, but it's not obvious. For example you may have to clean a lot more clothing and effects than with a diapered baby that is being taught EC. If diapers were used for a brief time they'd be reusable for many more children and thus have a lower impact per user.

I'm not disagreeing just that these analyses are always extremely complex.
