I installed the UPR brand. Easy 5 minute install and every two weeks I check it and dump out about 1 teaspoon of oil. As you said cheap insurance.
I'm still waiting for someone to make one with a sight gauge. 
This guy has the right idea:

The only thing I think he's missing is a simple solution to his automatic drain. I would just use a one-way ball valve in the drain line. Engine vac will keep it closed anytime it's running.

Check out Bob's catch can too. This video doesn't do all the brands, but neat nonetheless.

Looking for see through can, check out the Jegs site, page http://www.jegs.com/i/Steeda/957/555-3710/10002/-1 , 73 bucks and they have their own brand also 20 bucks cheaper yet.

That video is interesting but if you have that much blow-by, I believe you have bigger problems that a catch can will not solve. Bob's is definitely the best in that video but for every day driving I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with any of those. I had a JLT in my 2012 and I didn't have an ounce of oil in a month.
