I definitely screen out bikes for the lack of two water bottle mounting options plus a tool bag. I'm okay with DIYing the second bottle if there is a good spot for it. Most of the year I can happily get by with 1 bottle and tool bag so the DIY setup is only for a couple months of the year. I do give frames with hard mounts for the extra bottle bonus points when making a purchase decision so I would reward companies that look after me like that.
I think the WT Rad bases are cool and have few here for quick setup of bikes as needed.
They do make a double bottle mount that puts two bottles side by side for smaller frames, getting around a shock reservoir or absolutely desert zombie apocalypse setups.

And an offset mount if you need to get around some restriction like a shock reservoir with a single bottle.
