Depends on what you want to propagate and how many.  Personally I think those  supposedly biodegradeable peat pots are a detriment to sucessful plant growth.  I have dug them up a year later almost intact.  They restrict root expansion and are acidic.  I think that their only redeaming qualities are their ease of use and  besides that, if you use them you have to replace them at every planting, where with the plastic 4 or 6 packs you can use them for 3 or 4 years if kept out of the sun.  But that is just me.  I stopped using them years ago.  Besides that you can probably get the plastic containers for free from your friendly neighborhood nursery.  And why in the world would you "remove a delicate seedling" before it was safe to remove it.  In the plastic container 6 packs you normally worry about them being root bound.  You transplant  a delicate seedling into the ground before it has a decent root system you are begging for damping off.  IMO
