Depends on the peppers. I'm still researching this for my peppers this year, but I think smaller pots are ok if the plants and the peppers are small, and if you're not trying to maximize production. So, without knowing specific varieties, I'd put the largest-fruited varieties in the largest pots. I'd also research the plant sizes, and put the largest plants in the largest pots. I think Tatiana's tomatobase lists some peppers, or you could start a new thread in the pepper forum to ask about plant sizes of specific pepper varieties.
