My plants have suffered in heavy non porous ceramic pots even if they have some kind of hole. I say, be very aware if using any pot with one single hole. It can easily clog.
But I suspect, even more, that nursery pots with their generous holes not only avoid that clog, but also give multiple points of air access to the lower root zone, and I think it really helps.
I now never go straight into ceramic. I find a cheap plastic that fits inside it to my liking, enough wiggle room that I can pull the plastic pot out, also good if it lets air seep around it to under the pot. Those orchid pots and liners, I elevate the liner with stones or corks so the liner isn't snugly fit to the ceramic. Better air underneath.
