Default Repotting Material for Den. Spectabile?

Does anyone have an idea what the best mixture to use for this plant is? I haven't had to repot it since I purchased it about 2 years ago, but it's outgrown its pot. I understand that I should avoid disturbing the roots and also keep this in a relatively smaller pot, from what I've heard. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have most of my dendrobium in fir bark and perlite. I recently repot some with charcoal added. They are doing well.

I have a Latouria Den that I keep in lava rock. It is very happy in there. Has some new growths maturing. Can't wait for the blooms this year.

I also have mine in lava rock with maybe 20% fir bark, in a clay pot, and it is doing well.

Orchidata is the best material I have used for Den. spectabile as it lasts for a long time between repotting.
