This is the best as far as I am concerned:
http://www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Products-SP...yer+filter
Here's why:
You can fill a 1 liter bottle (standard threads) and screw this to the top and drink directly out of it. You can also use it like a straw and drink out of shallow streams etc because it comes with a rubbery hose segment. It comes with a Mylar bladder which you can fill and filter if you dont want to carry a plastic bottle. I bought a bunch of extra off-brand bags which also work due to the standard threads. Its very very free flowing compared to any other system, and it does a great job. It wont filter atomic poisons like lead, arsonic or whatever, but thats not what I'm worried about on a hike. If the Fukashima fuel pools catch on fire, I'll re-evaluate that. These are small and light, reliable, and come with a big syringe which you can use to back-flush them, giving them a huge lifespan. They're 18-20 bucks each, or cheaper if you buy a multi-pack. I've tried other types but this is the one for me.
