We usually buy squash in 5 litre bottles from Makro so we save the empies to take on holiday to use as water bottles. At the end of the stay we just dump the bottle. (Well, it has been re-cycled at least once as a water bottle!)

I prefer  mdeium sized container with a tap as the kids can get them selves a drink from it, and easier when it is full.

I don't like thecollapsible  ones as they seem to taint the water a bit,though I've got an Ortlieb water bag I use for cycling and that doesn't. I have a 10L plastic container with a tap that works fine

I also use a 5 litre water bottle from the supermarket, then recycle or bin it so that I have one less item to pack when I come home.

In order to conserve water I tend to drink wine or beer in the evenings instead of tea or coffee. 

2-3litre cordial bottles for us, then the kids are able to fetch and carry water (honestly they like doing it)!

Various sizes of supermarket bottles, but mainly a six ltr size. It is now in its third season, although the blue plastic handle gave up at the start of last season, so it now has a short guy line round its neck. (stops it blowing away when empty)

One of my other best buys, is a combine plastic rectangular  5 ltr container that clips inside a same shape washing up bowl. So it only takes up the space of one item. Had it about twenty years now, may be longer. Never tasted of plastic, although most other plastic containers i've had over the years did.
