Wondering what everyone's opinion is on going straight from rooting baggy to a three gallon pot skipping the smaller pots. I am thinking the larger pot will allow me to maintain soil moisture easier as well as decrease opportunities for transplant shock.

Well . . I'll weigh in . . I think that'd be fine . . albeit while they're young . .
the more you mess with them, the more losses you'll experience. I see no
reason you shouldn't go to a larger pot if you wish to. 3 gal is not all that
large

Following this one as I am considering a similar move. 

I don't see any reason why not.  Sometimes I just stick them right in a large pot to begin with, cover it with a plastic bag, and let nature take its course.  I have had excellent success with this approach.  The only real reason I can think of to start with a small bag, then gradually increase pot size, is due to limited space.  If that is not a concern of yours, then go for it.

Nice! . . that thread tells it all
