Grow bags are great for plants like Leyland Cypress that have easily damaged, fibrous root systems, but other than that I don't recommend them.
They're a bear to work with. Despite claims, they do NOT prevent roots from growing through them, and removing a bag from a 3" tree with roots sticking through it is a nightmare. Several nurseries I know stopped using them except in cases like Leylands due to their difficulties. If the tree can be sold and planted before it starts to get a little big for the bag, they're great, but... seriously now... that doesn't happen even the biggest part of the time.
Like many things, they're interesting in theory, but in practice... not so much.
