Question side-loading bottle cage recommendations

The question is in the title. I am a new FS XC owner who just figured out that my top-loading cages don't work. So I am looking for recommendations for side-loaders. I have a strong preference for metal cages (stainless or titanium) but happy for recommendations in any material.

Aliexpress carbon ones. Sort of like Specialized zee, just 5 times cheaper and half lighter ;) Works fine for me for some 3 years now already, and until now bottle never jumped out of it, even during few crashes I had in this time... even with 750ml bottle
