Tap water unless nothing else available in the place at the time.
Looking through the other replies it would seem a lot of people here live in areas with low-quality mains water that may be safe to drink, but has an unpleasant taste.
Some say they improve it a bit by filtering, but a filter (including possibly a filter called "reverse osmosis" by a
shop) does not remove dissolved compounds, only particles.
The minerals dissolved naturally in potable water supplied to proper standards, or drawn from a safe spring or private borehole, are fine. In fact our body needs some of them; and I think totally pure water is not really very good for us.
