Bottles
I use Elite jet water bottles. They're biodegradable, they do not leak and the flow from the nozzle is very strong

Water Bottle
Definitely the Bivo One. Expensive but works really well and looks great.
Looking to purchase online, and would like it to look nice as I don't drive and bring my bottle in with me for app'ts etc. Doesn't need to be insulated, actually from what I've been reading on how they are harder to squeeze/drink from would just as soon have regular type. My current ones--Tacx Source--work fine and are good for on bike use, but not so great to take indoors/offices and such. Any suggestions?

Insulated water bottles are great. They aren't hard to drink from. NO harder than an ordinary bottle.
They will, if you go about it right, keep water cool for hours.
It's not so much that I have to have ice water, it's that if you use a "regular" water bottle when it's 90 degrees out the water gets hot.

I find this a very useful feature on long rides. I use these Elite bidons for racing as they are transparent and incredibly light.
I also have a couple of Camelbak Podiums, which are heavier duty and have a more fancy valve - although I'm not really sure what it adds to the party!
But if you want something that looks nice, then there's this from Elite:-
Or this if you want a fast flowing nozzle:-

I use Klean Kanteen bottles from 40oz to 16oz mostly in VO cages. The Mojave does well with 32oz or 48oz Nalgene or KK 40oz.

I don't worry about bottles. Only an infected sicko would take them.
I don't think many people want to mess with another person's bottle. I have left mine at a park a couple of times. Plenty of homeless and drug addicts around the area and park where I stop. I left a bottle there a couple of times for 2 or 3 hours making a round trip. The bottles were still there untouched. I know if I saw another cyclist's bottle, I wouldn't touch it. One thing out of respect and the other out of fear of the cooties.
I remember on a group ride, one rider forgot a bottle then borrowed one from another rider. No thanks, I'll die of thirst before borrowing another's bottle.
