Kevin,
I always try to get a good warmup. I drive at least 35-40 miles open road or super highway to get everything good and hot. This way any accumulated moisture in block has chance to evaporate and having the oil good and hot all the suspended stuff goes right out drain plug.

Have burned my fingers a few times and ended up dropping plug into oil drain pan. But worth it I think in contributing to overall engine health.
