Pippi21,
I'd suggest going with the tried-and-true one-gallon milk jugs. Kqcrna, the WSing guru to many of us beginners this past winter, advised us early on of the many, many, many types of WSing vessels she had used over the last 5 years. Milk jugs, hands down...

Her other alternative, that might suit you is to go ahead and sow your seeds only halfway in the 16 oz. Red Solo cups and then sit them inside a large, clear, Sterilite tub with a clear lid, and drainage holes in the lid and the bottom. As the seedlings start growing taller, add more potting mix to the cup (for those that grow roots along the stems, like tomatoes...)

This worked very well in protecting my tomato seedlings once they germinated and I potted them up into the cups. It was still too cold for plant out, but they needed protection from the cold winds and they needed light. Clear tubs!

Here's a pic of my WSing jugs that I sowed the 1st two weekends in January.
