Who makes the best water bottle that does not leak while horizontal?

I’m using a BTA setup with the bottle nozzle pointing back at me, and when it starts leaking it lands right on the head tube.

I have an old Camel back that is better than the X-Lab one. What have you guys got?!

I have a bunch of these, and they seem to be leakless. I do not use them in a horzontal BTA, though, which is probably the most hostile environment for leak testing.

Camelbak Podiums don't leak at all BTA when the valve is in the closed position, but opening and closing the valve every time you drink is a royal PITA. For this reason, I switched to a Speedfil A2/Z4 combo (plus it gives me a clean place to mount my Garmin).
