I'd go with the garden-type cart, at least for now. You could modify it later.
Our team has been using the same garden cart since we started up in 2003. It's easy and effective. We spray-painted it blue to match our team colors, and we usually add wooden blocks or something else to modify it slightly each year so the robot doesn't roll off when we accelerate.
