I just picked up another Aquatainer by Reliance - prompted by the 'What have you done for preparedness this month' threads. When I got it home, I noticed that the vent hole, which used to have a screw-top with an internal retaining device, is now just a plastic plug with a retaining device. I think this is a step backwards.

I store them upright, but in use they tend to leak unless you overtighten everything. The local Sportsman's Warehouse started carrying replacement spouts, for which I am grateful...

Anyway, anyone have an opinion on Aquatainer vs the jerry can style containers, or another style? I liked the spout for camping - you didn't have to lift the entire jug every time or tip it and try not to spill or overfill when you poured. The cheap vent plug has got me reconsidering, though.
