I live/ride in NOLA where you use every sweat pore you have. Rode 85 miles on my Ram this morning and consumed 6 20oz bottles.
I like Scratch or Osmo products. Lowish calorie with a touch of real sugar and fruit. I recall reading that salt passes the cell membrane more efficiently when paired with sugar, and a little goes a long way. Sport drinks have way to much sugar IMO, and you can get your calories from ways that suit you best. Happy hydrating!
