Default Orchids good for apartment

Hi everyone,

With the new influx of members and ofcourse the wisdom of the old members, I would like to ask this question. Which orchids are good for me to grow in my apartment. Its got an easter exposure, has bright light the whole day, and plenty of lights all night.
The humidity get pretty low in the winter, but I heard this can be fixed by wiping the leaves with a wet cloth, and a tray of water underneat, and misting, which I do anyway.
The temps stay around 70-80 all winter, with the occasional 60 degrees when the building forgets that 40 degrees outside is cold. And in the summer, the three AC's come on when the temps reach 80. I guess that bring the temp down to 70. Im not sure.
I was considering a Phalaenopsis for sure. I also would like to hear your opinion on Vandas, and Catts. I'm going to the NYC orchid show this Sunday, so if you have any other suggestions, please let me know. This will be my first orchid show, and after all this is the first year I've been seriously interested in orchids. I used to think they were way too hard to keep alive.

Thanks,

Cesar
