    With a maximum Vdss of 60V, it's only rated at 12A continuous (42A pulsed) but might the MTP3055VL (Fairchild, TO220 package) or similar critter be a possible solution? Vgs(th) is less than 2V and Rds(on) is about 0.1 ohm.

    Alternatively, the 2N7000 (TO92 package) makes a pretty good little MOSFET driver.

    "Easy to use" is easy to say.
