Hydro system would probably be easier and no dirt to dispose of after harvest.
Buy some pots with drainage holes already in them. They're cheap. Also buy the drip trays that are size related. Use the dip tray as a guide for both drainage and overwatering concerns. How fast the water reaches the drip tray and how much remains and for how long tells you about both drainage and overwatering.
