Default Pot conundrum

So I have 2 pots left, 1 20 inch, 1 17 inch. The 20 holds 3 cubic feet of
soil, the 17 holds 1.25. I have seedlings in need of planting, a black
beauty zuke and some lemon yellow cukes. What would give me the best bang
for the buck? 2 or 3 cukes in the 20 and the zuke in the 17, or 2 cukes in
the 17 and 1 cuke in the 20? Or some other combo? I could get another pot
but I am trying to budget this so the food I produce is at least equal to
the cost of growing them.


One in each, the zuke in the larger. Give them something to climb up
in the sun.
