Arrow How do i know what birth control is the best for me?

My boyfriend are 19 ( me soon 20) virgins dating for 18 months now.

we have been talking about sex for over a year now. I want to be on birth control but with all the choices and the pros and cons I'm confused.

I have researched and researched to figure our what birth control is best for me but no matter how much info I'm still torn.

I know I want
  1. something that is VERY effective. I don't want to have to worry about if I'm pregnant or not.
  2. most of my fear is psychological so something that reassures that
  3. I only get a month or two with my bf due to having college in two different states 16 hours apart
I narrowed my choices down to
  • birth control pill
  • birth control patch
  • IUD
( no matter what i use my bf will be wearing a condom)

but again the fear of effectiveness gets me

I plan to ask this questions to my doctor but i just want a few options first. any other birth control i should put on my list or remove.

please explain you choice so i can compare them to others thoughts.

THANK YOU
