Are you planning on using pressure treated wooden posts? Or metal ones? What type of soil do you have?

IMHO, wooden ones are better tamp them in. That is, dig the hole large enough to compress the earth around the post. If you use concrete around them, the expansion and contraction of the wood will usually cause the concrete to crack.

Concrete works well around metal posts.
