I 'm using Ebay catch can. Whic was around $55 shipped.
Honestly, ppl make oil catch can out of Air compressor oil/water seperator, so you can do your homework and not spend $$$.
had to get some hoses, mounting bracket for fitting, since the hose that came with was too narrow(prob for honda civics) Total ~$10 for extra stuff.
I got this one from ebay since they had filter inside the can. Notice it says B16,b17,b18 which is for Honda, but they will work fine on our cars, catch can is to be universal, just like lugnuts. :

I can definitely tell, there is oil inside the hoses, especially the one that goes into the oil catch can.
The hose that goes back to the intake was set up a bit highter to eliminate the possibility of oil going back into the intake.
Good thing I got the clear hoses so it's visible.
My catch can has a clear indicator in the front side that shows how much oil is deposited inside, but it does not show yet, so I'm thinking about couple table spoon worth of oil trapped. (which is not much yet)
Hope this helps
and I gotta do this to my 92 civic with 1.5L engine. (70 miles daily driven)

As a general rule-of-thumb, always try to keep the catch can in a cool area of the engine bay.
The link below explains why and shows where I installed mine. As you can see in the last picture, having a glass catch can does have its advantages. Aluminum transfers heat better but primarily if it is plumbed in away from the engine.
