I've used a bladder for mountain biking but really didn't like the water being heated both by the sun and my body in hot weather. Being a ludite my backpacks aren't designed for modern stuff like bladder drinking systems, so I'm pretty much a water bottle guy. Being cheap I also tend to recycle water bottles (I'll use liter soda bottles with wide mouths, for example, or a 2liter if water availability is going to be an issue). For camp use I keep a big ziploc style freezer bag rolled up in my pack - and yes - you guessed it - I still use water purification tablets rather than a filter (although I have been giving a filter consideration ... maybe I'm coming around!)
