Is there an advantage/disadvantage to using either one? What are your thoughts?
Thank you, Mark G.

I transplant a couple of times. The root ball slides out of the plastic just fine.

I agree with all of above. Tomato roots seem much more forgiving & I generally have no difficulty with transplanting them twice.
