The ultra dwarfs are usually more assured to be grafted to a truly dwarf root stock. Which will help assure a small size.

Since you are planting in pots it won't matter much as the size of the pot will also restrict the size the tree can grow.

A dwarf fruit tree in a pot is the perfect solution for a very small garden area - they can even be brought indoors or placed on a balcony. Proper watering and feeding, and I like to spray with a compost tea, or bokashi, etc also.
