The Warm Canuck

Good day All!
It's my first post!
So, I'm planning on air layering this Japanese Maple, one in the middle of the main stock and one down at the bottom fork. This tree is only about 3/8-1/2" thick.
I'd obviously like to vigorously grow the trunks and am not too concerned about styling right now. If growing is my only goal for a few years, what kind of pot should I put my air layers into? Will a regular bonsai pot stunt it's growth, or should I just put it in a regular nursery pot?
I see the necessity of using a nursery style pot if your air layer has a vertical root ball, but I'm going to try and air layer using a container in a horizontal manner, to hopefully promote horizontal root growth but other than that I don't see any reason to.
I see a lot of people air layer than put the stock into nursery pots, I don't know why i guess.
