Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and I'm looking forward to reading everything the board has to offer!

First, welcome. There are lots of orchid lovers happy help you out here. You should start a new thread (there's a button above the name of the forum where you can do that) so that more people will see it.
As far as pot vs. basket, it's just a matter of your growing conditions. The good part of using a basket is that it will dry out faster. If you can't get around to watering regularly, that's also the bad part. So if you can water a bit more frequently, the plant will probably really appreciate the extra air flow that a basket makes possible.
