Going with a pitcher (with a lever spout) is a lot easier than 2L's.

You will need to extract liquids daily. When cleanliness determines whether your culture will crash or not, do you really want to be pulling out your airline and sitting it down on a counter that could be contaminated with chemicals, dust/dirt, rotifers, etc or just pull on on a lever?

Yes, the cost is much higher than the 25c deposit on a 2l, but its worth it.

Superstore, Costco, Walmart, Bed bath and beyond, etc all have tons of models. Find one that fits your space and dont look back.
