 Topic - Water Tablets vs Steripen

Hi everyone
I currently filter water using a Katadyn hiker pump and Steripen, but this gear is heavy against the obviously smaller option of water tablets. I trust my current system which works as I’m still here, and never been ill from water contamination.
Can anyone tell me whether a Steripen and katadyn hiker pump is more efficient than water tablets for water purification? I want to shed as much gear as possible for some long distance back packing and the water tablets are obviously a better choice weight wise, but by ditching the Steripen & pump do I leave myself open to contamination bug wise?
I would still want the freedom to drink from rural reservoirs and upland streams, which are a few hundred yards or a mile or so from the source.
Thanks
Jason
