Best hand Milk bucket for the money for goats?

I have the hoaggers milk bucket with the half moon lid.
I hate that lid. I can't hit the hole every time and the milk splashes up in my face .
I have the filter pan that goes in it and the regular lid for the bucket but it does not fit over the filter pan.
I hold it on with a bungy. I bought a half gal bucket from someone on here but my doe that I am milking this year gives way too much milk for that little bucket so I went to Atwoods and bought a seamless, gallon size stainless bucket for under $10. it was in the pet supply section. I milk and then pour the milk into the strainer pan.. I am going to see if the larger bucket at Atwoods will be the right size for the strainer pan to fit into because if I am milking more than one goat the hoaggers pan won't be big enough. I won't need it till next year though.
