I've been on the Omnipod for the last 15 months and a patch pump was the only choice for me as there are no wires, I swim, do a lot of sport with no pump removal as its waterproof. It's great if you like clothes as you can hide/ wear it in so many places. The problem for you is that each pump recommender will only back their own so I would have a really good look at each option. If you call Omnipod you can get hold of a dummy pod to wear for a few days to see if you can live with it round the clock. I'm sure the other pump company will do the same. Do ask me any other Omnipod questions you have though and good luck with your decision.
