Catch cans..Again :)

So the general consensus is that the normal hollow can targeted at boy racers are useless on a diesel, and the Provents are the best. But I donk know if I can justify $200+ on a catch can.
I've seen the home modified one on here a few years ago with a breather filter on the inside, anybody made one or similar and can confirm how well it works? I imagine the filter would need cleaning/replacing fairly regularly.
I've also had my own idea of using the oil/air seperator from a land rover engine and running the drain into a normal cheap catch can or other solid container where you can monitor the level of the contents, pretty sure some models use an inline one which could easily be made to fit any breather hose but not sure which ones exactly, seem plenty of aftermarket replacements that are pretty cheap but don't want to order the wrong one.. thoughts/ideas on that method?
Just about to embark on blocking the EGR, replacing intercooler and cleaning the intake out so want to make sure its not going to get full of oil again
