When it comes to pots, bigger is better, I think. So it's mostly up to you how big pots you can practically handle. The cactus will happily fill any pot you care to give it. And don't believe the stuff you read about gradually replanting into bigger and bigger pots. My experience is that roots quite quickly fill all the available space. There's no downside to having the unused soil sitting empty before the roots reach it. As long as the pot is free draining in the bottom and has plenty of pebbles and coarse sand mixed in, the plant won't get waterlogged.
