What ever you do, make sure that it is baffled or constructed in some other way that makes the oil form into liquid and fall to the bottom of the catch can again.
Many catch cans on ebay, etc., are just containers with two fittings and nothing in them => oil all over the place anyhow. I used an Ebay can, took it apart (bolted together), soldered some copper pipe to the inlet to get the fumes at least half down into the can. Then filled it with kitchen scrubbing pads (not the steel wool kind - looks more like the stuff you get when you drill metal :-)). Works just fine so far, though I haven't tested it much yet.
