Front and rear? 
If just one, then my vote-- aerodynamics be damned-- is the DT. Easiest to reach and looks balanced (feng shui-ish, if you will!)

And anything besides putting bottle in the front is just silly

I guess all of you cannot afford to hire your own domestiques to carry everything for you. That way the bike has no need for any of that excess weight. Also, the domestiques will buffet the wind and bring you lunch while you ride. Then your support car is equipped with two spare bikes and several wheels accompanied by a driver/coach and a pro mechanic.
Now, wouldn't you like to ride like this at least once?

You should offer her a ride home on your rear rack (you do have one, right?).

You likely know this, but when grabbing the bottle on the seatpost, you can put your thumb in the front and your fingers behind the bottle and pull it out of the cage. When you lift the bottle to drink leave it upside down in your hand.
