I would go for the largest container you can get, thye hate to be cramped. Homebase do a nice size own brand tub for 5.99 or push the boat out and get a really useful 84ltr box from staples.
I keep mine without lids on in deep large tubs on a heat mat. Once a colony starts going down they die of quickly.

I keep up to 1000 standard crickets on hand most of the time and wondered what would be a good sized container to keep them in.

It's not the container size that's the important factor but how much surface area you provide them, my cricket bins contain 10'000 in each but because of the way they are set up I can sometimes only see a handfull in there 
Egg carton is best or if you can't get any use crumpled up newspaper, cram as much as you can in
