If I'm doing something active and get thirsty, would drinking soda or an energy drink be better than drinking nothing in terms of hydration?

And by something active I mean like playing a sport, jogging, or working out

Yesterday it 97 degrees out and I found drinking a a gallon of water and liter of grape Gatorade kept me hydrated for long enough to the end of my work. A 4 hour work period

That was during the work period and I'd been outside before that working morning too. I just drink as many cups of ice water as I can at home. I think that's why it worked.
