That websites seems way out of date though. No stock August 2020??

BTW it’s fannypack, not hip pack
But..but..but...that's an americanism. The UK version should be arsepack shurly?
Anyway, They're meant to sit on your hips not your arse so I'll stick with hip pack.
I've water bottle(s) on frame. At which point my 1990's Lowe Alpine in suitably dodgy purple and green colour is superb. Just big enough for pump, tools, buff and wondrpoof.
I've got one of these too (3rd on the thread I see and therefore the winner): https://alpkit.com/products/vora-6-waist-pack . Currently £28 and a nice bit of kit.
I guess I'm a convert. I'm more or less okay with bottles on the frame. It can mean slowing or stopping for a drink but that happens anyway. And in winter everything tends to get covered in an even layer of shite not just bottles.
Seems to strap on tight enough. What I most like is just spinning it round your waist for access, not having to take the thing off completely to look at a phone or whatever.

It's mildly amusing and annoys some people, so it's fannypack.
Bumbag + a basic "y" harness for me.
Russian potatoe sack (pillow case) inside for improptu carries of coats etc.
Bottle on frame and 500ml bladder thing from lidl in bumbag.
Seems to work, great with nothing on my back.
Pics later.

C'est une banane, pour porter ma gourde (and my gilet when it gets too warm)
Dakine hotlaps stealth for bare essentials and a bottle for rides from the front door, the 2l version for longer rides. The gilet is a squeeze using the stealth.
Not so stealth ad, I’ve just popped a Camelbak Repack LR4 in the classifieds if you wanted one at a very reasonable
price…
As you were.
I've an Osprey Savu 4. Fits my waist perfectly and doesn't shift around. You have to stop to take it off to access the pouches. Even getting drink bottles back in their allocated slots is a nightmare.
It has its place. But I have a cycling rucksack with a 2l bladder, room to stuff a 1.5-2l bottle of water from the shop in the helmet holding area, and space for a small bottle each side on the waist strap (like a lumbar pack). A couple of frame bags, and a 750ml bottle on the frame. I still have to buy water on my rides because I guzzle so much.
End of the day, it's water carrying that's critical to me, and the rucksack beats the lumbar pack for that purpose. I'm in a mountainous, Sub-tropical area with higher than expected UV all year round.
I’ve nothing to compare it to, but I’m getting on well with my Osprey Seral 7 that I bought a few weeks ago following advice on here.
And under £50 with a bladder makes it an absolute bargain IMO

Some Lowe thing (Space Case?) and a bottle on the frame works for me.

The bag can take a small bottle on either side but I generally don't bother for rides under three hours.
Picked up a Dakine hotlaps 5L couple of months back from Stiff Cycles always had aback pack (camelbak) & i love it. I'm a bit on the large side & so the tube is a bit short, so i just bought a longer piece of food grade pipe of Ebay & i couldn't get on with The magnet clip so just changed that for a spare Camelbak. Plus you cut all your trail essentials down to what you need no more kitchen sink ......
I ordered about five different types a few years back and sent them all back except a Sierra Designs one, which IMO was far better than all the rest. I still love it. No bladder but you can sort this out yourself, it does have bottle carry pockets though but I always put my bottles on the bike.
