It's a personal decision. There is nothing "wrong" with using a saddle bag. Nor is there anything "wrong" with putting items in jersey pocket or borrowed water bottle spot.
Personally, I have a cheap drawstring bag and have repair kit inside, goes in middle jersey pocket. You can get fancier bags or cheap out and use a Ziploc bag.
Go with what works for you.
