Dust sheeting absolutely everything including the walls when you do a
ceiling is a right pain. I prefer a brush.
In my (recent) experience painting high ceilings in a stairwell it
didn't matter if I was using a brush for cutting in or a roller for the
large area to how much paint ended up on the floor. I got a few drips
from the edge of the roller and a few from a slightly overloaded brush
when working at awkward angle at the top of a ladder.
I also recommend getting a decent sturdy pole for the roller. In the
past I have had "cheap and nasty" poles to hold the roller for painting
walls/ceilings which have flexed and didn't hold the roller to well. For
my last bout of ceiling painting I invested in a much better pole with a
6 sided metal inner where the extension firmly locked in set positions.
It made a big difference to the ease of painting and because of the
better control of the roller possibly less paint splatter/drips.
