I plan on starting with 4 White Widow plants. Do you recommend a 5gal. or can I just go with a 3gal. pot?

This is what I am looking at:

looks nice, and I love those pots as they let the soil breath. if you plant to veg more than 2 months go with the 5 gallon.

I was planning on a veg for 8 weeks and a flowering for 8-10 weeks...Do you still recommend the 5gal.?

Better to overdo the size than to outgrow the pot.

I am still using plastic but those are cheap and look promising. I might do a couple side-by-sides and see if there's any reason to switch.

I would go with 5 gallon smart pots or larger. 8 weeks is a long veg - I'm using 5 gal smart pots with a 6 week veg and they look great - the ones in 3 gallons are considerably smaller.
