Whats the best of the larger Camelbaks?

I have a Lobo which I use all the time and its fine however when out with the young Surfers its a bit small for carrying a few extra bits and pieces and items of clothing.
I want a larger one (maybe the Mule) for such excursions.

Any recommendations of a large model? or even an alternative with the hydration system?

Thanks all

Just got a Deuter Trans Alpine. Great bit of kit, and the Deuter bladders (not included) are WAY better than Camelbak ones in my opinion (better opening system, better valves and feel more substantial... we'll see how long it lasts).

Before that I had a Camelbak Mayhem which I still use for days when I'm not guiding (and hence don't have to carry so much stuff). Very good pack, well though out and very durable (I'd recommend the "freeride" orientated Camelbak stuff for that reason). Bigger than a MULE too, without being massive. Helmet/pad carry straps are useful for me, but you might not feel the need.
