The fumoto valve is great to keep things mess free....
You can do without the magnetic plug. Buy a strong magnet and on the steel pans you can just stick it to the pan near the plug, when you drain the oil just remove the plug and what was stuck inside the pan will release and drain with the oil. On aluminum pans you can use a dab of epoxy and permanantly mount it there. To clean it, every couple oil changes you can pop it off of there and it will all drain with the oil still.
