It depends.  I have a bunch I play with in 6-7 inch plastic pots like
storebought plants come in.  I also have a bunch in 12-14 inh pots like
shrubs come in.   I get goo habenero production from the bigger pots, and
I get good super-chile/thai hot/oranmental produciton from the small ones.
I also use two kinds of troughs; one kind is the normal plastic yard
trough you buy at Wally Wirld or K-Mart, the other is the paste-trough
that wall-papr hangers use.  The paste troughs are shallower.   I put
cayennes and jalapenos in these--the jalapenos in the deep ones, the
cayennes in the shallow.

Yes, in general I've found the bigger the pepper you need a bigger pot.
If you want a lot of heat with little taste in little pots, go with a
Jean's Chinese.   They ought to keep you in heat for a while.
