Katadyn makes good filtration gear from the water bottles (0.75 and 1 liter) to pump filters of all sizes up to industrial and desalination equipment. I have used their pumps and been quite happy with them.

McNett's Aquamira division makes a straw ("Frontier") that filters down to 2 microns (not enough for viruses, but works for bacteria and larger). But they promote it as an emergency backup, rather than a primary filter for the whole trip.

I have seen the Sawyer, but didn't examine it closely nor did I use it. But Sawyer has been around for a long time with various first aid products (even though the snake-bite kit has now been shown to be pretty ineffective - but their time-release insect repellent is quite effective in my experience against Alaskan mosquitos in high season).
