I'm a section hiker and love my 3L water bladder. But, I'm starting to rethink this and wonder what you guys think the pros and cons are of bottles vs. bladders. I'm carrying a Granite Gear Vapor Trail so it's not easy to reach anything in my side pockets. I like to have water within reach but it's probably not a bad idea to stop and grab your water and take a breather at times.

Let's hear some good arguments on both sides.
