How about not using a drain bucket at all. Have you heard of a Fomoto drain valve? I use one on my 6.0, but they also make them for the 7.3.
I drain my oil directly into my old waste oil and washer jugs. I just plug a short piece of hose on the drain spout of the Fomoto valve and fill one jug at a time, opening and closing the valve as needed. Absolutely no mess at all.
