Is it better to plant mint in pots?

Planting Mint

Members of the mint family can be quite invasive. This can lead to problems in the garden, since mint can smother more delicate plants. It is better to grow this herb in pots to keep it from spreading through the garden.

I'd definitely agree with that. We've grown a couple of varieties in pots on the kitchen window sill, and one in a larger pot outside.
