Sorry for self promotion but you might also consider the HILIDE method which is very similar to bicelle and sponge, only having fully solubilized protein:lipid:detergent complexes as input sample and therefore being fully compatible with regular liquid handling robotics.
See Gourdon P et al 2011, Crystal Growth & Design 11, 2098-2106 for the method, and Sonntag Y et al 2011, Nature Comm 2, 304 for a direct look at the bilayers formed in the crystal
