I used the avent Isis and loved it. Also, Buy Buy Baby and Bed Bath and Beyond are the same company. You can use the Bath coupons at the Baby store. If you don't have a baby store the bath store will order for you and save shipping.
i used a medela pump n style with miles, but it was a hammydown, and i hammied it down to a friend. and since we're in a better place financially, i wanted to get a nice one. i just bought the Medela Freestyle, so i'll let you know how it works out.
I have a Medela Pump In Style Advanced. The nice thing about Medela is that you can find stuff for it everywhere. I also discovered that my Dr. Brown's bottle actually fit on the Medela pump parts so I can pump directly into those bottles for Mr. Chubby.
I'm also using the PISA. I've had no issues with it after using it daily for 11 months, aside from milk getting into the tubing and I didn't notice so it dried in there. I just bought new tubes and it was fine.

I'm watching for this stuff though...but I think I'm going to rent first and go from there--that way if it doesn't work, I can not be out $300
On the PSA front though, those that live near Meijer--mat. jeans = on sale. Saw 'em yesterday, going back to try them on this afternoon.
I'm mostly hesitant because w/ the possibility of needing migraine meds, there are decent odds BFing goes out the window fast.
