I use the Topsider Big Boy and believe in that method. It takes little time, makes no mess, simplifies oil recycling and since I drive about an oil change worth of miles per month I appreciate a minimum of hassle. I've done it both ways but only use the Topsider now. I have enough other opportunities to get the car in the air replacing brakes and the like that the underside does not get neglected, but since I do my maintenance work by myself in my spare time on the weekends, simple is good and the Topsider is simple.
