just an observation on fruit size too, the larger the fruit the fewer in a container too. all the other fruits will drop off from the competition of nutrients and moisture. smaller pepper fruit seems to do better in a container and once again... they will produce better in the ground than in a container. I did ghost peppers in the high tunnel this year and they were monsters compared to the one container I had. the fruit was also nicer.

here is a list in my commercial catalog of container choice varieties
carmen= not a bell
cute stuff red- very small bell
orange blaze excellent orange pendant or elongated bell. not a true bell.
patio snackers
patio tasty blush,green,orange and red
pompeii- small plant even in my garden
yolo wonder never grew it myself.
none of these are very large fruit peppers. the orange blaze is an excellent flavored pepper, pompeii... meh, I gre it once. I wasn't as impressed with it as I thought I would be. went back to orange blaze.
