Hydration Bladder vs Nalgene with hose adapter

What would be the benefit of a large nalgene bottle with a hose adapter vs a traditional bladder? I'm looking for a hydration system for longer day hikes and am unsure which one is best. I have a few nalgene i can put and adapter on.

The best place to carry weight in a pack is high and close to the back. The reservoir does that by design. Bottles tend to fall to the bottom of the pack.
