There's a heavy-duty and a regular net pot. The heavy duty is a very slightly larger size, or at least has a wider rim.

Test-drill some holes first in scrap material, to make sure your hole saw is the right size. Put the side handle on your drill if you have one, to keep you from spraining your wrist.

I have grown dwarfs in as small as 2" net pots, and it works, but I usually have to cut the net pot out of the root ball, damaging it too much to re-use. I don't know that it matters very much what size you use, as far as the plants are concerned. I have seen tomatoes do great in much larger net pots, like 8-10"
