I was going to say the same. Don't worry about a bunch, just drill the hole for the tail of the airlock if you're still using pails. The airlock is imperfect anyhow, as is the lid for the pail. Over the years I've gone through a number of different things to ferment in, and if you're still wanting to just do simple fermenting look at the fermonster (the vineyard carries them locally, but Amazon is an option too). They're PET, they have a nice big kid opening for cleaning, a spigot for draining which is much nicer than syphoning. I keep a couple for doing brews I don't want to pressure ferment.

I've also designed and 3d printed a blowoff tube adapter for the lid so you don't have to use an airlock specifically for the fermonster (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3996336)
