There is some fashion-ista-ism going on with fanny packs. I like fanny packs for light loads or temporary heavier loads such as 1L soft bottle I'll drink on a really hot day on the climb then basically have any empty fanny pack for the rest of the ride. If you put 2-3L of water + tools in a fanny that makes less sense to me than strapping a small sweaty monkey up on my back in a high CG position by going the hydro pack route.
Of course I'd rather do none of the above and keep my stuff on my bike for a higher performance ride.
