Catch Can and Venting

I was wondering what everybody on here as far as venting there 13B and using catch cans. I am in the process of finishing up my single conversion and am trying to figure out the best route.

I have read the writeup by another forum member here
http://www.negative-camber.org/crispyrx7/gt35rpage3.htm

His attempted solution was to run a vented catch can with a return line back to the pan. Is this a good solution for the extra work or would just a vented catch can be sufficient? I have read a few threads on here with ideas people had to the solution but im not really sure what is most common for people running single setups.

Chris is more concern with oil spillage due to hard cornering on the track. Not with normal blow by.

I did not want to vent my blow-by back into the engine as stock does. This really dirties up the IC and intake. I ran a hose from both ports/nipples on the oil filler neck to the sides of a quart size catch can. The top vents to atmosphere under the car through another hose. I made mine out of a butane canister. I drain it periodically.

Cost was under $10 total.

I originally had the same one, but it is way too small for winter driving . It will fill up very quickly and blow oil out the top all over the engine compartment.
