I use the drip method for everything but plants and I have NO issues. I dont leave the fish/shrimp in the bucket long enough for temp to become a serious issue.

If you are worried about the temp drop you could put a small heater in the bottom of the pail BUT you would have an issue with an extreme temp differential between the heater, the tank water and the bucket water which COULD cause different issues.
