I am doing Boston and will have family driving along the race route. I want to use those squeeze bottles that the pros have laid out on tables but not sure which ones they are. Anyone have a idea?

They all use the same bottle.
They are top secret and the CIA guards them before and during the race, then the used ones are immediately destroyed using nuclear fission.
Do not ask about these special bottles again.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSER.

Why do you want to do this?
They don't just use one special kind.
For example-

Shalane Flanagan uses Gu Brew bottles-

If you want to be eligible for prize money I expect what you plan to do disqualifies you because it counts as assistance.
The race provides water and Gatorade already.
Drink the water on the course you sniveling little puss.
USATF Rule 241.2(c):
"A competitor who collects refreshment from a place other than a refreshment station is liable to disqualification by the Referee. An athlete may carry liquid or solid refreshments on his/her person from the start."
True. But I doubt he/she will be winning money at Boston. Although, you could be someone that I assume you're not.
a lot of times (at least in my experience at Boston and Chicago) they give you those plastic medicine wash bottles which are about 10 ounces and have an L-shaped straw. Some of my former Hansons teammates have used Nathan bottles. I've just bought regular 16-20 ounce plastic H20 squeeze bottles with the flip caps to use. Think Poland Spring.
Check out Tummy-Yummy bottles.

Jaguar1 who posts here sometimes is actually sponsored by Nalgene who makes the wash bottles with built in straws. The link to the bottles is on her site.

Hell, juts buy Tummy Yummies and drink that. Pure energy and perfect for a long race. Drink them early and often.
There is a barbecue restaurant in the mountains of NC that we often visit. They sell Tummy Yummies. My daughter always gets one and about one hour after she drinks it, she is the spawn of the devil. Crying, fits, you name it.
That stuff is terrible.
Use any old bottle that you like and that opens easily is what the pro's use-
