I will add that I would never try to grow a tomato plant in a 5 gallon pot, unless a dwarf or very compact variety. I did it one year and had to pot up to larger container. I know there are some that have done so successfully, but I would think it be very time consuming to provide it with the nutrients needed and since I top water, well it just wouldn't work for me. IMO, the bigger container the better especially for taller indeterminate tomatoes.
