Giant is a good name and for the price point, your bike is as good as they come. Its a huge plus to find a customer focused LBS.
I have grown very accustomed to my bladder back pack. I have two. Shorter trips and then for day long trekking or hot summer days. One plus I have experienced is having some padding on the back if you go down. Its not armour nor should you ever think it replaces body protection. But there are several endo's where I was grateful for the cushion. Plus, the bladder took the fall and my 225 pounds landing on it with no leaks.
