To the OP's original question, 'issues' is somewhat vague - taste difference and safety are two different issues.
I figure if my bucket smells of glorious dry-hopped brew for a week after I clean it, then it probably has some minor effect on taste or aroma. That smell came from
Somewhere and as such was taken from the beer I just bottled.
That said its a big PITA to dry hop in a Carboy.
You guys ever put cereal into one of those plastic Tupperware type deals? My kids Cheerios come out of that thing tasting like crap.

I currently have beer fermenting in a 6.5 gallon plastic bucket, a 6.5 and several 3 gallon Better Bottles, and both a 5 gallon and 3 gallon glass carboy. I don't really give a rat's arse what my beer ferments in; my preference is "whatever is empty when it's time to brew a new batch". YMMV
