Is it better for the plant to start in a smaller pot and transplant it to a bigger pot later, or is it fine to start the plant in the pot it will spend the rest of the time in?

ive always wondered that there surely must be some downfall of starting in the final pot or people would do this to save on the stress of repotting, or maybe its a space issue

absolutely nothing wrong with starting in the pot you are going to finish in.
so if you have a big pot already put her in and save a transplant down the track..:-)

Starting out in a big pot can cause the taproot to keep growing straight down instead of growing shoots out of the sides of it. You get better root development with an intermediary pot size.
