I'll be honest and say at this point I don't play to breastfeed this one. Feedings took 40+ minutes with my youngest every couple of hours so I ended up spending very little time with my older two. If the baby is latched on properly it shouldn't hurt, especially after your nipples essentially get worn in. At first they'll be more sensitive, but it does get better (assuming you don't have nipples of steel that never hurt to begin with). If you want to breastfeed try not to think about it. There's a huge list of things that can go wrong and make it difficult if not impossible, and you can't worry about all of them. Worry if you need to when the time comes, not before.
Oh, and my youngest experienced no nipple confusion between breast, bottle and pacifier. She was actually using me as a pacifier beginning her first day (she'd just munch and not even attempt to actually eat), so it really saved me a lot of aches. Nipple confusion is sort of a baby to baby basis.
