Medela Freestyle or PIS

First time Mom looking for recommendation on whether to purchase a Medela Freestyle pump or a Pump in Style? I like that the Freestyle allows you to walk around etc. but wondering if that really works?? I am using a rented Symphony hospital grade now and it works great. Want to make sure whatever I purchase will work just as well. I do hate having to be locked down to one spot to pump so many times a day. I also travel for work so that is important too in my decision. Looking for recommendations (good & bad) on these. Thanks!

Cleaning Wipes for Breast/nipple and for Medela Pump Parts and Storage Bags

Do I have to use the cleansing pads specifically sold to clean your breast before breastfeeding or can I use baby wipes or other natural wipes instead? What about cleaning the Medela breast pump parts? They sell a specific wipe just for that too. Can I use something else? Does anyone have a recommendation for something I can use for all of these purposes? Lastly, I'm looking for recommendations on breast storage bags. I heard about Gerber, Lansinoh and Medela...
