I've come to like stainless steel insulated bottles with flip-up caps that cover the sippy spouts. REI used (~2-3 years ago) Microlite ~24 oz 2-wall ss bottles with a large cap that covered the entire top of the bottle, which keeps horse shit and sand (bosque has both sand and horses) off the sippy spout, but I didn't see these on the REI site when I recently looked. They did have similar bottles with a screw-on/off lid that covered the entire bottle top; no big defect, IMO, since I usually stop to drink.
Others make similar flip-top insulated ss bottles, but the difficult part is finding those that are neither too narrow nor too wide for the standard bottle cage. The Microlites are ~2 mm wider than a standard, old-fashioned Specialized plastic bottle and fit fine in Iris ss and Profile nylon cages, and in Specialized's plastic side-entry cages. The Microlites really do keep things insulated, tho' I usually consider this feature only in cold weather; they'll keep freshly brewed tea with cold milk added too hot to gulp for several hours at 32-40*F.
