I'm not sure if I want to upgrade or downgrade the pot later on, or just leave it?

Sorry Justin, I noticed this post only today.
The number of holes is immaterial, as is their size, as long as you do not place the pot
under a waterfall. What is important, is that the water can get to the hole once it
reaches the bottom of the pot. I achieve that by placing a few small rocks at the
bottom of the pot, which I then cover with pieces of fly screen for outdoor pots or
ground cover cloth for indoor pots, before I fill in the potting soil mix. The latter
keeps the soil in more securely and your catching tray more clean.
