If you use oil, do you use disposable containers? Or something you can re-fill? What brand?

one of the reasons I started lighting with oil is because we couldn't afford a proper candelabra. 
I used to put floating wicks into small glass (duralex) bowls up until very recently when I bought something for myself on Ebay. Now I continue using oil, since it's like a neder - I use it with glezelach (like for chanuka licht).

How much oil do you put in? How long do they burn?

Tamiri, those are really something! (and nothing like some free advertising.  )

Nah, that was just full disclosure. I don't sell outside my immediate area, that is the only "shtick" I have to get business - delivering to people at home, with the exact color/s people want, as these are sold all over the place. Most places are more expensive, but they are readily available everywhere. Note I wrote "miniscule". Don't try and convert that into actual profit.
And sanctioned by Rav Vozner too!

we fill them at least half way with water and add some oil on top until a little unde the top of the glass it lasts a really long time.

I use the glasses in Tamiri's top picture - tho' I've never seen coloured oil. I used to use Neironim (glass cups), but my candle sticks are very tall, and they looked so tiny on top - these seem to 'match' better...

Tea lights. I used to use Neronim, but just always felt more comfortable with the tradtional short, fat candles my mother used. Later in life she switched to tea lights. They're similar to what I grew up with, and convenient. My Oneg Shabbos is to minimize hassle in certain areas.

I don't think she has to do hataras nedorim for switching the type of candles she uses.
Not unless there is some special minhag and zchus in using neronim which I've never heard of.

I use regular short fat shabbos candles. I make a point not to buy the tall ones because they take longer to burn.

I've been using tea lights mostly bc the glass holders I had would shatter from the the once that are a couple inches, and they are are hard to get here. I can get tea lights rather easily. But I do not use liquid, only solid wax.

I light tea-lights. I place them in clear glass holders on a large round brushed steel tray.
Together with my girls, we light a total of 14 candles so we need a large space. the tray is placed on a sideboard just to the left of the table. We also have spares as necessary for guests.
I think it looks so much nicer than my silver candlesticks, together with all assorted other candlesticks dotted around.
