I expect with a larger pot it's easier to mess up the watering
Not really, no.
Just make sure there are drainage holes / stones at the bottom etc. as their roots don't like to sit in water.
It's completely ok to let the soil get dry inbetween waterings (hanging leaves show you it's time to water again), so basically with bigger pots you just need to water less often, like with tomatoes etc.
I expect with a larger pot it's easier to mess up the watering, but yeah I was always under the impression that the bigger the pot the bigger the bush and the more bountiful the harvest
