What kind of water bowl does everyone here use? I am looking for the best
water dish that gives the dog the cleanest water. The fountain ones claim
to be very good but seem like a huge pain to clean. I'd want one that is
super easy to clean but good for drinking too. I've also heard that plastic
is not the best way to go. I want a bowl that won't give the water a bad
taste either. Is ceramic or stainless steel good? Or something else?
Thanks for any advice, recommendations or links to the bowl others use.

I used stainless bowls. They're as clean as you make them.
Can't speak to the flavor but the dogs certainly haven't
said anything about it.

Same here; stainless is easy to clean. If your dog has a
tendency to tip the bowl over, get a no-tip broad-base style.

I use a stainless steel water bowl. May I suggest that you avoid a
glass or ceramic bowl. I used a pyrex bowl for a water bowl decades
ago. One of my dogs flipped the bowl and it shattered. He was moving at
a good clip and it cut him across both front legs. It required a few
stitches in both of his legs. The chances of that happening again are
probably slim and none but just to be on the safe side I avoid glass
bowls or dishes.

Plus, if you run over the stainless steel bowls when camping, you can bend
them into a usable shape again!

I used to use a very large flared base stainless bowl. I now use a 5
gallon "Le Bistro". Kind of like a water cooler (same bottle) that
empties into a plastic bowl. I also have an automatic waterer for
outside when we're all out there hanging out. Keeps them from drinking
the pool water!

These bowls are wonderful. I have 3 of them for the dogs. They can't tip
them over no matter how they try.

I use stainless bowls. Easy to clean and my dog doesn't complain.

I take it there's a story behind that....

Stainless here, too. The dogs' tags jingle against it when they
drink, but what do I care?
