Best baby sling/wrap?

I am looking for a baby sling or wrap for my 7 week old. I have one I purchased locally but the woman no longer is around anymore and I never really figured out how to use it well, it’s a ring sling, and I lost the instructions.
For those of you who are into baby wearing, what sling is the best one? I was thinking about the Moby wrap. Any advice?
Okay, I don’t like the Moby, too much material. Now I’m thinking about the peanut shell sling. I have a Baby Bjorn but I want something where I can see her and she can see me. She hates the Bjorn. And I also want something that is versatlie and that I can use for a long time.

Moby’s are great, but a bit too stretchy for me after baby hits around 15 lbs. If you still like some stretch I love Gypsy Mama’s Bali Baby Stretch wraps- pretty and just enough stretch. If you want a woven type wrap there are a ton of great ones. I have a Storchenweige Inka wrap and love it, also an Ellaroo, but haven’t tried many others.

As far as slings go, I prefer pouch slings over ring slings because the rings drive me bonkers- can’t ever get it to feel right for me. I love my Peanut Shell fleece pouch, as well as others I’ve made like it. Hotslings are great too, Lucky Baby, pretty much as far as pouches go it’s individual preferences (stretchy, non-stretch, padded leg rails, toy loops, deep pocket or not, patterns, colors, material, etc…) There are so many out there, you probably couldn’t go wrong with any of them once you know what you like. But fleece is so forgiving and snuggly that it’s my favorilte by far. check out www.thebabywearer.com for some better info regarding carriers, as well as opportunities to buy gently used for a great deal.
