For several years now I'ved used a small cyclone separator and
shop vac in an over-the-shoulder arrangement for outdoor cleanup
and sometimes confined space excavation in soil. Here's an image:

The problem is the lid on the plastic bucket: The buckets, despite
being throwaways, hold up fine. The lids, not so much. Usually they
crack at the outer edge. Even a tiny leak below the cyclone totally
disrupts the separation process and the lid has to be replaced.

I've looked for a better container for a few years and found nothing
suitable. A stout, wide mouth plastic jar with either a flat side or
a lid big enough to mate to the 5" bottom flange on the cyclone is
what I've sought to no avail.

  I've found buckets seem to come in "grades."  Drywall buckets only hold up marginally better than retail buckets.  Paint buckets are a mixed bag.  The buckets I get from industrial suppliers full of coolant and way oil seem to be quite good.  Both lid and bucket.  The problem with coolant buckets is the pour spout in the lid.  That being said I save the buckets,  to be reused all the time, but the lids tend to go in the dumpster except for the buckets I use for waste oil.
 I have two way oil buckets in the freezer in my shop full of ice right now.  When I go fishing I dump one of them in my cooler and slide the full one over, and put the newly empty one under the ice maker.  They have held up quite well inspite of the cold, and the ones laying around the shop have of course held up well enough to the heat.
 The lids on retail buckets are terrible.  So are the buckets.
 
Also, there is a separator that snaps on in place of a lid if I recall. No clue how well it works.  I do have a couple separators similar to the one you pictured I'll be playing with soon.  I am going to try using two buckets on the new CNC router.  One for wood chips, and one for metal chips... well eventually.
