Inside or out?
I've always had them on the outside to prevent them being chewed (much...I know first hand that rats can get to them even from the inside of the cage).
I really like the SuperPet cages, but I was reading a review and I completely forgot that because of the high base (4"?) you can't get a water bottle comfortably positioned from the outside.
I guess they would be forced to go to an upper level to get a drink. Your thoughts on that? That just wouldn't work for a old or lame pet.

Hmm... no way of putting a hole in the side of the base so that the spout goes through? And then mounting it with wires or something? I've never seen a SuperPet cage, so I'm not much help.

All of mine are outside. That is how they are designed to be hooked up.
I don't know about GPs and rabbits but I would never have a bottle inside with rats for gnawing possibilities.
My spiny mice will gnaw plastic, so they have glass bottles. The gerbils have plastic but they are "domed" on top, not right angles, which sometimes they or fancy mice could and would gnaw.
It is often advised to have a heavy ceramic bowl of water instead of a bottle for a rabbit. They supposedly drink more, and they do not flip it, although sometimes they might drop something. Poppy never kicked bedding in it (as gerbs would).
