It seems like bark will be fine, but it sounds like you will have to water almost every day, at least until the mix starts holding moisture.
From the AOS Stanhopea care sheet:
Potting is done best right after summer flowering, as most plants seem to grow year round. Plants that rest in the winter can be repotted in the spring. The best flowerings come from large clumps of plants, so large baskets are usually used. An airy, yet moist medium seems to work best, such as medium-grade fir bark (often mixed with sphagnum peat) or osmunda fiber. Vigorous plants may need repotting every three years or so.

Exactly how moist do these need to be?
