A Mug Dilemma

I'd heard about the Stanley Quencher before all the hullabaloo hit the news with people camping out (!!!) to buy limited edition colors. But the cup is not leak proof, which means it's not toss in my bag and go.

I need toss in my bag and go. Like my coffee cup to the left. This is a Brumate Toddy 22 ounce cup and it is leak proof. As long as I make sure the lid is on correctly. I bought a decal with my name on it from an Etsy store, but in my impatience, I didn't put it on straight. I've decided to live with it.

Brumate makes a water cup, too. The Era. It comes in two sizes, 30 ounce and 40 ounce, but the 40 ounce was out of stock the last time I checked and the neon pink isn't available. I tried their website, signed up to get a coupon which they did not tell me would not work on Era.
Neon pink is sold out there with only a Notify Me option available.

Now I'm looking at Swig Life's Mega Mug. I really like the bright colors they have available, but I don't know. I'm waffling. I think I might like the Brumate Era better and I know their Toddy line is completely leak proof, so I'm sure their water cups are too.

I wish it wasn't such a big decision, but at $50 a piece for these mugs, I don't want to pick one I won't love. My current system is to refill an old Gatorade bottle with water and drink from that, but it's less than optimal. A big mug that keeps my water cold until I finish it would be better.

So do I wait for neon pink to come back in stock at Brumate? Do I go for Swig Life? Do I keep searching for a third brand that is leak proof? I hate making decisions like this. Do not even ask about my phone case decision, which left me with five phone cases that I don't use.
