Ice plant or similar varieties of succulents are my suggestion for planters and pots. The annuals are better color for the short term, but if you want something tougher and for the long haul in a planter, succulents all the way.

I had posted earlier that Vinca might be a great flower for your window box. Here's a picture of our Vincas as they grow in our landscape. These come up year after year.
