I'm trying to decide between these two:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321375943750?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 
http://www.westmarine.com/flexible-water-tanks/moeller--5-gallon-water-container--1914969 
I've handled only the blue one. It's like a gas can where the top comes off and inside is a flexible spout. But the .mil seems to have a more robust cap with built in pour spout, no funnel to mess with. Thoughts? |

Go with the military cans as long as they don't have weird smells.
Those cans are very durable and easy to use. |

Don't buy these MCI water cans on ebay, they are cheaper on buylci.com with free shipping last time I checked.
Do a search for "water can" should be around $25 bucks and these are MFR by Scepter. They offer two different colors, here is part of my "collection": 
There is no comparison between those two cans, the second can you listed won't hold a candle to these MWC. |

Found em. Is Skilcraft comparable to Scepter? (same company?) Just fyi the West Marine can itself was very robust, not flimsy plastic at all. |

The skill craft and LCI cans appear to share the same part# LCI-600409 & 7240013655317 , for the OD GREEN color.

Ok, I was thinking one of each (free ship at $50) but two green is ok

You can also buy direct from Scepter Canada or a few other websites. I know that the MWC has one handle vice the three handles of a MFC ... but my water cans came in that "UN blue" color that helps easily ID it as potable water.
Not as cheap as LCI, however. |

Not even a question. Get the .mil can all day long, preferably from LCI.
I have a bunch of them, and found one that fell off a truck (literally, I live near a military base and a lot of convoys come through). It's obviously been run over, but still works perfectly and holds water. |
