I can't speak for the gallon jugs, they seem to be similar in construction but I haven't tried it.
Growlers are different than the 1 gallon jugs. Growlers ARE designed to hold pressure. I've never seen anything carbonated in a 1 gallon glass jug. I may be wrong... but I'd prefer not to hear stories about glass jugs shattering from pressure and the bloody shards of glass strewn across the floor.
I am going to bottle an entire batch at 4 volumes and let them condition on my mother in law's headboard.
