5-gallon contaniers, vendors, etc.

Joe- These are not pots, but I've had good luck with the smaller grow bags.  
I prefer the white bags because of the heat.
I've used quite a few one and two gallon bags.  They need to be filled 
nearly to the top, otherwise the top folds over the soil and prevents water 
from entering.

I have also used a few three gallon grow bags and they become difficult to 
move when the soil is saturated with water.  The logistics of moving a 5 or 
10 gallon grow bag has given me pause.  Perhaps when completely dry they are 
tractable.

One advantage of the bags is that I can pack them more tightly than 
conventional pots.  They can also be relatively cheap and are easy to 
transport (when folded).

Here is one link to the bags:
