Default Container size for chilis and tomatillos

I have seedlings of tomatillo and of several varieties of chili peppers
ready for planting in containers. I'd be grateful for advice on required
container size (diameter and depth) for these plants.


What varieties of chiles? Some only grow less than 2 feet tall, and
I've seen others over 9 feet tall. (I'm growing all new varieties this
year and have no idea how close to plant them)

The tomatilloes I grew last year ended up about 5 or 6 feet tall,
spilling out of their little wire cages and sprawled all over
themselves. I will put them in 5' heavy wire cages this year.
