This thread is good to inform people of their options.

On day hikes I often use a bladder and hydration tube. With a light load an extra quart or 2 pounds of water is not significant.

When I backpack I use bottles during the day and a bladder for camp use, but no hydration tube.

Your style and the trip make different systems better.
