Aftermarket Diff Cover Recommendations

I really wish Ford would put drain plug in their differentials. I've used Mag-Hytec's in the past and really like them, but there are a number of other aftermarket solutions available.

Looking for feedback from others on similar systems. My main goal is not "maximum" fluid, it's adding an aftermarket solution that allows me to drain the fluid without having to remove the cover. Dump your knowledge and recommendations for replacement diff covers here...

Seems to me undoing a dozen bolts isnt much harder than pulling a plug. Then you also have access to the carrier to inspect and clean, which you should do if its time to change the fluid in the diff. I suspect this is why there is no drain plug. The instance where a drain plug would be nice however, is on the D44 and D50 TTB axles.
