I've been thinking about the pots Janet. I guess I don't really have just one criteria for a succulent pot.
The main requirement would be durability, as you explained above. From there I use many shapes and sizes. If it is going to be planted as a mini landscape I like a shallow bowl (most succulents are shallow rooted). I like tiny one specimen display pots, again doesn't need much depth for the low growing succulents. If I am growing one of the tall varieties of say Sedum, then of course I would us a large pot that had enough width so it wouldn't topple over from the weight of the plants top growth. Here is a large strawberry pot that has done very well for me. Sedum & Semps are such hardy and forgiving plants to grow.
Drainage of course is always important.
