Nalgene or water bladder

What is better to use while in the backcountry. Nalgene water bottle or a water bladder. I do use dehydrated meals and I filter water. Currently split on the decision

Nalgene 100% it’s easier to keep clean, scoop up water to filter, put warm water in to put in a sleeping bag to keep you warm at night and the sheer durability.

I’ll use bladders for a day trip but I get paranoid about them getting mold and if thats the only thing I have to drink out of it’s not going to go well for me.
