Any of my water bottles that are 30 years old taste bad...
Well, they would if I knew where they were. But, they were bad bottles when new.
New ones vary a bit. The larger bottles are the Zefal Magnum bottles weighing in at 33 oz. Not perfect, but not bad.
The Specialized MOFLO bottles are slightly smaller, taste slightly better, and are pretty leak proof, even if the spogot isn't closed.

I've found that there are several models of Contigo bottles fit in the cages well, and work well, depending on the spout one wants. Most of them are auto/button operated and are easy to use. Newer ones can be mostly opened for washing/cleaning, depending on how one uses the bottles.
I can't tell if the plastic insulated bottles do much, but the Contigo insulated Stainless bottles work well for a few hours, either hot or cold.
