There are many who say the bigger the pot, the bigger the plant. You have a fairly long veg time so your plants should take better advantage of the larger pots.

Obviously you can grow a bigger plant in a 7 gallon than a 5 gallon. It is not an issue in most indoor rooms because of height issues so 3 or 5 is plenty big enough. I like using 5s but not filling them all the way, the width is the factor. So if you try 7s because your grow room ceiling is 10' high (lucky you) make sure you get the squat, short, and fat buckets and not the tall skinny buckets. Weed roots like to go horizontal (the feeders) more than vertical.

If your vegging for 55 days I HIGHLY recommend going with the 7 gallon pot! I would actually consider that on the small side for a veg as long as your doing.
