Velcro:
pros: makes diaper changes fast, and are more like disposable tapes.  The best cloth diaper companies use a better grade of fastner tape that is supposed to hold firmer and last longer.
cons: are that it can snag and pill/pick the diaper cover.  You have to attach the tabs to ‘laundry tabs’ so that the Velcro doesn’t stick to every thing in the washing machine and pick the fabric.  Velcro can get clogged up with lint so that it doesn’t hold as well.  The velcro can also age so that the hooks won’t hold the loops (but drying in the dryer is supposed to re-vitalize them).  Some Moms have reported that the Velcro scratched the baby’s skin.  Another con is that the baby may be able to remove their diaper.  However, this is generally not a problem with disposables, and I’ve never personally had a problem with this. 

Snaps:
pros:  Snaps are strong.  Very strong.   It’s harder for baby to get the snaps open if they try to take their diaper off.   The best cloth diapers are backed by a replacement guarantee if your snaps malfunction.
cons: Snaps are too strong.  You have to yank them open with a good bit of force, which can eventually tear the outer cover.  The other con is that they are snaps.  Lots and lots of them.   And you are going to be lining them up and snapping them firmly while wrangling a squirmy wiggling baby.  I for one have had enough of snaps just on the baby’s outfits alone.  I’ll pass on adding more snaps to my life.
