Larger buckets of tidy cat litter are square and about 5 gallons, but unless my math is off... and given how early it is, it could be... you're going to run out of space in a hurry. Depending on where in the flowering stage you are you may need a lot of vertical space that you don't have. Why are you transplanting now, if you don't mind my asking?

Trash cans from walmart? Tend to be deep, diff sizes...Drill / melt in some drainage holes.
My current pots are 1.5 gal square food service containers I picked up at a restaurant supply store. They happened to fit my space perfectly.

Youre not going to get 5 gallons in the width unless they are 5 feet tall pots. For something 2 feet wide I would go with 1-2 gallon pots

No necessarily, consider how big a 10 gallon aquarium is. I think if he went with a square something he may be ok... again, this depends on height.
All of the Rubbermaid containers have the volume in liquid measure on the label BTW
