Following with interest. I thought the same thing but not sure how I'll do it yet. I'd say I'm almost positive I'm going to put some of them in 50 gallon drumbs and 20 gallon buckets from the hardware store.
Most of my plants outgrew the 5 gallon buckets they're in.. The bigger the root structure can get the bigger plant you'll have. My problem is that the dirt here is almost all clay and the plants i put in the ground grow but stay smaller. So in all actuality its about how big do you want it to get. You could leave it and feed it also but I'm sure they're root bound if they're in the same containers from last season. So my vote would be for the bigger container if your "growing in pots".

I would transplant at night it is easier on the plants I have found
