The ideal is a large capacity one with a tap at the bottom to fill smaller
vessels such as watering cans. To get the vessels under the taps you need
the butt to be on a suitable - and strong - stand. Water is heavy.

Much quicker to dip the can than to wait around for it to fill from a tap.
The requirement then becomes for it to be not so deep that you fall in
when scooping up the last water from the bottom!

That way lies back trouble ... :-(
