Welcome to the Orchid Board. Glad you found us. No, not all Phals are equal. Their are giant Phals and tiny Phals. But the ones you want are the easily available, just the right size Phals. Unless you are looking to grow inside a vivarium, in which case you want the little ones. You don't want the giant ones until you are comfortable enough with growing them to spend the money for those rareties.
When you water them, keep the water away from the crown, where the leaves meet. Keep them warm, and as humid as you can (if all you can achieve is 30% humidity, they will eventually get used to that), but give them lots of air movement to avoid rot.
