I don't know what the easiest would be but maybe a Phal hybrid? I'm not sure though.
People flask because they get better results and get a better yield. Most people that try sprinkling the seed on some medium don't get any results. If it was that easy then nobody would go to the trouble of flasking. You also have to wait for the pod to be ripe so opening it too soon probably won't work.
If you have a seed pod you can try and sprinkle it on some medium. It would be an interesting experiment. Is the cross a hybrid? If it is a species you might want to consider donating it to Troy Meyers conservatory or the Seed Bank Project. They would love to have the seed if it is a species.
