The secret I found to making less of a mess is jacking up one side of the car at a time so the oil moves towards the other side of the engine. Still leaks a bit but not a blood bath.
I've heard that the Supertec headstuds have less of a problem with the nuts loosening due to finer thread and steel with a better match on thermal expansion. If this happens again I might consider making a change.
