Hydration on long days is mostly boring
Fluid, salt and timing matter more than anything exotic. What to keep an eye on across a fourteen hour day.

Water first
No supplement replaces drinking enough water. Anything you take alongside it sits on top of the fluid, it doesn't stand in for it.
On hot multi day events, losses add up quietly. Drinking steadily through the day works better than one large catch-up at the end.
Pick a few fixed moments
Choose two or three fixed points in the day to drink rather than trying to remember constantly.
Before the effort and after it are the two obvious ones, because those are the moments you're most likely to be somewhere with water and a minute to spare.
