Need advice for a drip system in containers ...

I've put down drip systems in my garden by simply laying out the tubing and punching in the emitters. It works well and was easy to install. Now I'm thinking of running a drip system to group of large containers planted with roses, but am not sure what to use for emmiters and am hoping someone on here can help me out.

I've been looking at the Dripworks site and have watched their videos. They have a kit for containers, but I'd rather buy the parts separately to fit my needs.

Here's their kit:

My containers are anywhere from a 18" to 30" diameter across the top. I'm thinking the 'drip line' (shown on the link above) formed into a circle might work well for the 30" and perhaps the 'C Frame down flow mister' for the smaller containers. The down flow misters are shown about halfway down on this page:

Or maybe the drip line would be better to use in all the pots since I keep some thick mulch on top of the soil.

Perhaps you know of other online or local (San Antonio) sources that might be better than Dripworks. I used the locally available Submatic brand for the yard, but that source dried up, so to speak.

Here's a post on the Gallery which shows the containers. Many of you have seen it already.

Much appreciation for any pointers you might be able to offer, or ideas where I might be able to go for advice.

Here is a link that might be useful: Only the bare bones so far ...
