Try the Osprey Viper 13 (new model) Pretty sure it has a 3lt bag in it. Its quite small, light and will sit high out of the way of the harness. Or even check out the raptor 14 (I think this one has a very small airflow back system but I haven't seen the updated one yet) One of the pro's i'd say with the hydralics bladders is that they're ridged so no need realistically for a segmental compartment and easy to use so that's always a plus.
I'd personally go for a osprey BAG over the ones camelbak make. Much better designed for movement!
I personally have a petzl bug and use a camelbak bladder, but I have an old one, the new antidote resevoirs are better designed. Camelbaks bladders just dont seem to die!

Rod you're not really trying until you start sucking cumquats - that's what I call lightweight.

Quite possibly.
I'm satisfied enough with drinking from a bottle so won't put it to the test though.
