I was a little hesitant about the Fumoto valve myself but online reviews were great so I installed one on my Duramax diesel . I have had it on there for years with zero issues , no leaks and works great . One of the nice features is you can install some hose onto the nipple and basically " aim " where the old hot oil is draining . So for cars that have pesky under trays or cross members in the way it is no longer an issue . Also when doing oil sampling I open the valve , let it drain for 10 seconds , close it , get my sample bottle and open/fill . Clean and easy . As extra insurance I put zip ties across the handle just in case anything was to hit it . They may not be for everybody or every engine due to constraints/ground clearance etc. but I really like mine .
