Definitely go with a wood basket. Bamboo is also a fun basket. I've been thinking about making one. They are both just a more pleasing aesthetic.

At one time, I got around that by building slat baskets from "plastic lumber" - the stuff made from recycled water bottles and milk jugs. It looked like real wood, and the roots attached to it pretty well, so plant stability wan't an issue.
