Smile I need help picking out a Stanhopea

I just started collecting orchids several months ago and before finding the OB, my knowledge of the different genus was very limited. But, once I discovered this place I realized I was in trouble because now I have all sorts of new wants. The main one I have been drooling over for the last couple months has been Stanhopeas. I think they're amazing.

The only reason I haven't already run out and purchased one is that hanging them above my carpet in my rented apartment seems like asking for a moldy disaster, but I've finally come up with a plan. I'm going to modify one of those three tiered hanging baskets for veggies to have a Stanhopea planted in the top and something that it can drip into on the bottom (something in soil) and removing the middle basket. My question is which Stanhopea would be the best for my conditions?

I want to hang it right in front of my south facing window. It's constantly bright, but with very little direct sun since there are other towering apartment buildings around me. So far, my Encyclia loves it there, but I burned one of my Phals setting it too close. The one I really want is a Stanhopea embrii, but I realize I'm limited due to my conditions and I'm not sure if this is the best choice. Does this sound feasible? Any suggestions for what might be good for a beginner?
