We're fans of these bottles, for exactly the reasons you have suggested. We like the fact that they fold up when they are empty, and even when they are partially full, eliminating that annoying gurgling noise as you hike.

We haven't tried the insulating sock...in the summer, the water is usually icy cold anyway, so we're happy to drink it at that temp!
