I've got a couple of these, branded with my LBS's logo. No problems with leaks, and I stash my backup lying on its side in my rear basket. All good.

Purist bottles, also as mentioned, leave a little air space at the top so the air can compress when you put the bottles in the cage.

Bottled water works best. You can freeze them a little bit and then when you are finished you can toss them in trash or recycle bin.

Whoa, whoa fellas! See above, I already seemed to have solved the problem!

But I will keep the Purist in mind for future reference.
