As an owner who uses both I can say that both have their pros and cons!

Some tips FOR getting a water bowl are;

1. Get something heavy - Such as a ceramic bowl, this will prevent your hamster from knocking it over!
2. Get something shorter than your hamster but not too shallow. A shallow bow may encourage a hamster to sit in it and your bowl needs to be small enough for your hamster to actually drink out of.
3. Clean it..A LOT - Be prepared to rinse the water bowl out several times a day to clear it of dust, bedding and anything else nasty that might get in it!
