Just to throw a curve at you, check out the Camelbak HAWG. It has a bladder pocket, and plenty of connection points. You could do bladder, Nalgene or both. I've always been a canteen person, but have found the bladder to be a great option. The base capacity is smaller, but it's less expensive (on ebay anyway) and allows for more variety of configuration.
