I did my first batch in a plastic bucket but I had not airlock activity and feel that the seal was bad. Question - should I do the second batch in a bucket or use one of the large glass carboys that I have? I will be doing a coopers draft kit.
Air tight seals are not required in primary. So go with whatever you prefer.

Is not this true only if you move to secondary? I don't use a secondary, but leave it in primary, usually three weeks, and keg/bottle straight from there.
Some people no longer use airlocks at all, some just cover the area with tinfoil
I don't know how the hell those people do that. Every single time I've tried to use tinfoil for anything, I've ended up with flies and infections.

I do it regularly - and the only infections I've developed were intentional.
YMMV.
On the non infected ones, how do you actually attach the tinfoil?
