There's alot of info on the types of fabric to use for extra absorbancy... so thought about going with the following:
combination of: (away from baby skin) micro/polar fleece + terry + flannel (closest to baby skin)

Just a note on this - micro/polar fleece is made of polyester and is not absorbent, so it will add unnecessary bulk (and possibly provide a barrier to the moisture wicking appropriately throughout the nappy). Were you thinking of microfibre?
Absorbent layers - look for any fabric 100% cotton, bamboo or hemp; or microfibre (away from skin) if you prefer it. Choosing among different cottons etc is just personal preference (for feel, bulk, etc). Within the natural fabrics, the final nappy weight is the major determinant of its absorbency.
