i think that i use the same one that you are talking about. i have no problems with it. one piece of advice is to take the new pot (or clean it like new), and stick it into the oven at low temp for a few hours. this will build up an oxide layer on the inside of the pot, and help protect both the pot and your wort.
as for a fermenting bucket, visit your lhbs, i can pretty much guarantee that they have buckets of buckets that are perfect for fermenting . there are also a number of really good on line sources of brew buckets. the key is that the bucket must be food grade. otherwise i would be concerned about plastisizers leaching into my beer.
