Looking for some bottle filling advice.

I typically ferment in a bucket and have a separate bottling bucket with spigot. I have used it for bottling day with a bottle filler, but don't like racking into a separate vessel just for bottling out of concern for oxygenation.
I have also bottled straight from the fermenter using a racking cane connected to a bottle filler. Adds a lot of air and foam.
What is the most efficient (read easy and less messy) method you have used for bottling day? Any special tools used or just a bottle filler?

Thanks

P.S. - I know someone will say 'stop bottling, start kegging'. Someday...someday...stuck with bottles for now.
 
This sped my day up considerably. More info here: Double-Barrel Bottling: Now, Twice as Fast!

Also, the bottling tree and vinator are must-haves. They are in the picture. Note also, put your caps in the vinator (which will be full of starsan solution) for their sanitization. I boiled them for a while, then had an aha moment.
