That’s what I have. Much better than a Mityvac (which I also have).I don't think you'll find a better system than the Motive pressure bleeder.
I tried the drilled lid method once, but air leaked out of the cap as quickly as I could get in it. I suspect that this method only works in the older style metal caps.A shop vac, drilled lid and a mason jar work fairly well.
I have a conventional hand operated Mighty Vac, and that thing is about the most frustrating tool ever devised. The jar does not stay on, and one handed use is impossible.
Best? Maybe. YMMV.

Just ordered the Motive bleeder. Thanks for all the input.That’s what I have. Much better than a Mityvac (which I also have).
Better because the Motive pushes the fluid through, and you can see the clear, bubble free fluid and know you’re good, while the Mityvac always has just a few bubbles from air leaking around the bleed screws under vacuum so, unless you wrap Teflon tape around the bleed screws, or some other fiddly step, you don’t get the clear, simple bubble free flow of the Motive.
Better because the Motive can hold one or more liters of fluid, so, you have no chance of running the reservoir dry, while using the Mityvac requires constant checking and topping off the master cylinder reservoir.
The Motive has a hand pump, so no other equipment is required.

Which one did you end up ordering?
I'm looking at the universal one (0101 possibly), but am not sure if it will work with my Hondas.
This is the same thing I do. Works great.For DIY'ers - just an empty Gatorade or similar bottle and a lenght of clear tubing that fits tight over bleed nipple.
Just make sure the tubing runs UP a few (6-8) inches from the nipple before it goes down into the bottle to prevent air going back into brake line. Having used a thin reversible ratcheting box wrench makes huge difference too.
