Light Warrior is awesome. It's just so expensive, $20 a bag. I'd say it is worth it when sprouting very expensive hybrid seed. For everything else, I dilute it substantially with vermiculite, which I put in the bottom and on the top layer. I sprinkle a little of the Light Warrior around the seed itself. Any container works for sprouting. I have used six-pack cell trays as well as 4" pots. The key is the seed depth. You want it as shallow as you can keep it without it drying out, which is an answer that depends on your media and environment.

Another thing I like about vermiculite on top is that it is easy to see when it has dried out. There is no crust; it's like dry sand.
