I recently bought an aquacell double container bottle to use on my aero bars. I must it has good and bad things about it.
Good things:
1. It carries more water than a conventional bike bottle (about 1.5L total within two containers).
2. It fairly easy to drink from while on the aero bar position, assuming you don't cut the straws to short. I would suggest not cutting them at all on the first ride until you know what suits you best. Personally for me, not having to reach down to grab the water bottle is a big plus, as in a race where you have to keep up with the group a few seconds that you slow down may mean losing the peloton. Also, since it's easy to drink, you drink more often, rather than a larger gulp when you are really thirsty.
