Default Suggestions for NON-Phal beginner orchids?

Hello all!

I've been an orchid lover for a while now, but I've not ventured beyond phals at all. I currently have four phals, three at home and one at work. Two are 'normal' sized phals, one given to me not blooming (my first orchid) about 3 years ago, and one purchased at Walmart. I have a large one that I purchased at Home Depot about a year ago that I have hear at work, and a mini one I got just a couple of weeks ago at Home Depot. There aren't many local options for buying orchids, if you can't tell.

The only time I've ever seen a non-phal orchid sold locally was at HyVee grocery store -- no idea what type they were, but they were ridiiculously expensive. So I'm looking at buying online.

Here are two I'm looking at that appear to be not terribly difficult -- can you tell me if these would be good for me to start with?

Vanilla Vine Orchid

Wilsonara Finial Fire Orchid

Some info about where they'd be grown: I live in an apartment that has two south facing windows and one east facing windows. It's pretty dry in the winter, but I use a humidifier in the room with the east facing window, I use pebble humidity trays, and I mist all of my plants (I have a lot) often. At work I have access to north, south, and east facing windows.

Thanks in advance for suggestions!

Edited to add: I had Amazon links for the above orchids I listed, but my post was denied saying I had too many links? So I just took them off.

Edit again: I'm not sure it matters since it's indoor growing, but I live in Northern Illinois, USA.
