Ground or bucket?

I wanna do ground but I don't, so I think I am going to go with the bucket method. The thing is I want my plant to be as big as I would have grown it in the ground so my question's are what is better ground or bucket so if bucket how big of a bucket should I use, which will create the exact same growth as the ground?

use 10-20 gallon pots to get really big plants i have done both in ground and bucket.
the bigger the bucket the bigger the root system the bigger the plant. in theory but i have definately seen a difference with big pots vs little pots.

if you do plant in the ground make sure you ammend the soil. i've had plants yield
1/4 lb in the ground and not too far off from that if in really big pots.

If you use a 20gal its moot, how the hell do you move a 200 lb plant? 5 Gal buckets will grow 6ft plants easy, your just going to have to add nutrients to the soil as oppossed to digging a huge ass hole and having it chill in there with a well amended soil.

The movement is a key aspect to this, if your patch is resonably secure or resonably remote, just start digging.
