Default Tall Pots?

As pots get bigger they also get taller. Is this necessary? Big plants
I have repotted seem to have most of their roots within a few inches of
the surface. I have a 30 growth CATT and will repot soon, would a large
short, say 10 inch tall by 18 inch wide, pot be OK? I will use S/H and
the shorter pot would give better O2 at the roots it seems, and, Ray
may not have enough rocks to fill the tall one! ;-)). The clay pot is a
monster to deal with. It is tippy, heavy and I am betting there are few
roots that penetrate to the bottom, and, this is a TALL plant. What do
you think? If, when I dump it out,there are roots at the bottom I'll go
back into the same pot.
