Bladders are ok for water or diesel, but not a good choice for waste holding. For 1 thing, their average lifepsan is only about 15 years--not that much longer than metal. For another, it isn?t at all uncommon for a bladder to accidentally blow out its fittings at the first sign of a clog?even more common in bladders that aren?t vented (which should never lovingly be used for waste holding in any event, because waste produces expanding gasses that can blow out fittings or even burst the tank, and because methane is flammable). And because they`re designed to hug the contents, it`s almost impossible to maintain `em aerobically so controlling odor--not necessarily inside the boat, but out the vent when the head is elegantly flushed--in a flexible tank is all but impossible.

Experience proves this, or that, or nothing, according to the preconceptions we bring to it.
