Changed the oil again on our 2018 F150 and, once again, found out I absolutely abhor these stupid plastic drain plugs that Ford is using. They create a mess EVERY **** TIME. Today was even worse as I had a glusty cross breeze which then blew the torrent of oil into my face 
I'm done with it, going to replace with one of the aftermarket valves out there but I'm not sure which one yet. So far I have found the following options each with some +/- issues. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Ronin Ford Easy Oil Drain is a pretty good looking unit and despite the price is definitely an option. I do not like the fact that it requires the use of a piece which is fully removed in between OCI, just seems like something that would be misplaced in the garage. I really like the benefit of this, that it has a double sealing system when closed (o-ring on the valve and a threaded cap over the end). Pricier but not by a lot.
UPR Ford Easy Oil Drain Seems very similar in form and function to the Ronin with the biggest difference being the drain remains in place in the plug body when sealed. I like that there is nothing to misplace. Looks like the only thing standing between your oil and a real problem is a small o-ring at the end of the valve, though. Probably insignificant but I do like the double o-ring on the plug body for long term installation.
Dorman 097-826HP and 097-826HPCD appear identical- I have no idea what the slightly different part numbers mean. Cheapest of the bunch running around $20-$25. While I don't necessarily trust such a critical application to the lowest bidder I also don't necessarily trust Dorman and haven't been able to find any cutaway diagrams of this. Its a nylon material and honestly I'm sure its fine. Just not sure I trust it.
Has anybody seen any other options out there which are notable? What would you pick? I am pretty torn between the UPR and Ronin and they are so similar.
