I've used a 5 gallon water jug from walmart. It has a big spigot at the bottom and a small threaded vent at the top. I've threaded a couple inches of 1/2" tubing onto the vent opening, and secured it with CA glue, then glued that to an IV apparatus with a plastic drip regulator thingy on it.
5g is nice because you only have to fill it 2-3 times a week.
