Nanny for a newborn up until at least 12 months. Babies can get sick often and will not be allowed at the nursery when sick... which creates a whole set of problems of taking time of work and trying to find a reliable babysitter.
Also with a nanny, you know the baby will receive great indiviual attention. You can always do a nanny share with another set of parents you trust... so maybe two babies with one nanny that way the babes have a playmate and the parents can share the cost.
There are nanny cams that connect to the internet so you can check in and watch what is going on while you are at work, this helps to ease the mind a bit.
Just get a good recommendation and check references and hire the nanny before you have the baby. That way the nanny can be around while you are still on maternity leave and you can see how she is with the baby.
