Regular cold water will do just fine. They don't need aquarium heaters, but they do like it to be anywhere from 65-72 degrees. While they do not respond well to temperature fluctuations, they can handle your tap water pretty adeptly. You only need to dechlorinate it, by using a prepared dechlorinator, or by letting the water sit out overnight to "de-fume". Overall, tap and well water is the best for bettas. If you are unsure about your water quality, bring a sample to Petsmart or your local fish store for a free water test to make sure, and ask their opinion.

Bottled, filtered water is too sterile for pet fish. Your fish need the minerals present in natural water. Basically, don't used bottled water. Tap water is fine. If unsure of quality, bring a sample to a pet-store and ask.

Is bottle water better than tap water?

Depends on what company you're comparing tap water to. But most bottled water companies use filtered water (the same as tap water). In most cases bottled water is not purer than tap water. Note that tap water is not the same everywhere, not are all brands of bottled water the same. But legal requirements for water purity are the same for tap water as for bottled water. In some cases, bottled water actually is tap water, that has simply been taken from the tap and put into bottles.

Some people do not believe it but the best water to use in your betta fish tank is tap water. Bottled and distilled water has been "purified" and does not have the minerals that your Betta fish needs. If your tap water is so bad that you do not even drink it, than use spring water.
