My one issue with bladders is mold growth. Even when empty, they remain wet inside, and wind up growing colonies of the bad stuff unless there is some way to completely open the bladder and air out every square inch of it.
My thoughts exactly, though you'll no doubt be criticized by some here who don't agree. When we return from a camping trip my fresh water Aquatainers hang on the garage wall with the caps off for a few days so they dry thoroughly inside. Every once in awhile I'll give 'em a dose of bleach mixture and have never any issues with "funny stuff" growing inside them. :B

I am a fan of Waterbricks.
I'd never heard of
Waterbricks but Holy Smokes at only 3.5 gals each I'd need 10 of them to make up the same capacity offered by five 7 gal Aquatainers which I can buy here in Canada for $15 Cdn apiece, ~ $12 USD. :E

Of course, they can be a tempting target for thieves, but a tonneau cover should deter opportunists.
Hard to imagine where you're camping that this would be an issue, has never even crossed my mind that anyone could be bothered walking off with a few water containers. :h Anyway, I do now have a tonneau cover on my Silverado so I guess that's an advantage - out of sight, out of mind. :)
