I love my Poptite Collapsible Bottle. I don't really go in for collapsible cups, but this collapsible bottle does it for me. It takes up less space than a similar capacity collapsible cup, and I can leave stuff in it if I want. It comes with a pull open top, but a lid from a 20oz soda will also fit, just in case you really want it closed.

These come in 16oz and 23oz varieties. My 16oz collapses to less than 4oz. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but I've never seen a collapsible cup over 12oz. There's usually a lid or container for the cups, to. I don't want to have to keep up with something like that, and once it's lost the cup doesn't stay collapsed.

The collapsing process involves folding and unfolding plastic, so they will wear out one day. Mine has lasted for a couple hundred collapse/expand cycles already, though.

I have come up with some quantifiable things that make this a favorite of mine, but I had to think them up. I like it, but it's a more instinctive like. I was liking the Poptite from the moment I saw it, and I didn't really know why back then. And really, I still don't. None of my empirical data back up just how much I like it, but it's still a fav'.

If you want a permanent collapsible drinking implement, get a cup, but if you don't mind buying one every now and then I recommend the Poptite on space, seal-ability, and je ne se qua.
