I don't personally have experience carrying water on kayak camping
trips, but from prior discussions, there seems to be quite a bit of
agreement that multiple smaller carriers are better than one large
carrier.  This is true for a few reasons, mainly packing/stowing
options, and not putting all your eggs in one basket should you
experience a leak, spill etc.

Regarding affordable, I've heard that you can use the bladders that come
in a "box" of wine.  I'm in the process of emptying the wine out of one
now, in order to give it a test.  Clearly, this is one time when testing
products/solutions can be a lot of fun  :-)
