Kwie - one of the first notable symptoms of root congestion is a reduction in extension of stems and branches, so if you want to maximize growth, the largest container you're comfortable with is going to serve you best in attaining that goal. If you do chose to utilize a large container, your soil choice becomes very important. You can easily over-pot if you use soils based on small particles (peat, coir, compost, composted forest products, sand, topsoil, .....). The key is to use a soil that doesn't support a soggy layer of saturated soil at the bottom of the pot. With a soil like that, over-potting is just a word, and the fastest growth can be achieved.
