The choice of the pot is a personal preference rather than a requirement of the plant. Most of my orchids including Phalaenopsis are in unglazed terracotta pots. A few Phals are in plastic net pots, some set down inside opaque plastic. None are in clear plastic pots. The healthiest root systems are in the terracotta pots, which is why I mostly use those (better drainage IMO).
I personally don't need to see the roots in the pot to know if they are healthy, but if having a clear plastic pot is helpful to you, then that is a good reason to choose clear plastic.
