I have not used an ergo 360 but have a beco Gemini and have borrowed a regular ergo so can compare to that.

The Gemini should be good for a 9 week old. I think I started putting my second in it around that age- they say you can use from newborn but it seemed more comfortable when she was just a little bigger and had a bit of head control. It's super easy to get in and very comfortable- get it adjusted once and you are good. You can cross the straps over your back or do it the regular over the shoulder way. You can wear baby on your back when he or she is older. And you can forward face, though I only ever did t for short periods of time as it's less comfortable for me and supposedly not as good for the baby.

Compared to the ergo, it's a little smaller- so better for the really little babies, but I ended up borrowing the ergo when my first was 18 months and just felt too tall in the beco (on my back).

I'm a big fan and am still using it with my second baby now. One of our most used items!

@erinbaderin: good point- I do love my beco Gemini but I preferred something smaller and softer when they were teeny- my personal favorite was the solly wrap but I never tried the baby hawk.

I actually hate the cross straps! I love Ergo and Tula bc they are both so straight forward.

I haven't used an ergo but I used the beco when my little guy was a newborn and am still using it at 10 months postpartum. It's easy for me to get him in and out and he seems comfortable in it.

@Pumpkin Pie: Another Beco lover here! I got ours at Target, but it doesn't look like they keep them in stock (near me, at least) - free shipping to stores though!

I had a beco gemini with LO1, and I got a lillebaby for LO2, and much prefer the lillebaby. It's so comfy!

Honestly, we had both and I hated the gemini. We bought that one first based on Baby Gear Lab recommendations and Lion HATED being in it. I actually found it to be less soft and taller than the Ergo 360 (maybe I was using it wrong?). When I finally got the Ergo 360, Lion instantly took to it and fell asleep in it. In between giving up on the gemini and getting the 360, I also had a baby k'tan which I liked (but the big downside was that I couldn't share it with my husband because you have to buy it based on the wearer's height). My point is: try them if you can and decide! We ended up selling the gemini after we had our second and decided we'd rather roll with the 360 + k'tan (or a stroller plus the 360).
