Are you talking about those orange funnels that go under the oil filter? I have never heard anybody speak well of them. Seems they complain that you spill oil down the front of your engine which requires cleaning up.

Must be me. I have the HD oil filter catcher and I always end up spilling oil down the front of my motor into everything thats mounted below it. The lip on the catcher doesn't go beyond the filter flange enough that the oil coming out when loosened, just backs up and spills over the lip.
