Any of you recommend a magnetic drain plug?

I also bought a Weistec oil filter cap (w/ drain plug) to make changing the filter less messy.
My personal opinion is anything less than a 5k interval* with synthetic oil is a waste of money/oil. The *caveat being if you take the car to the track or otherwise really beat on the car all the time.
