It really depends on your conditions. But overall the magnificum (and crosses) along with luxurian x radican have been really forgiving. They also size up nicely.  
Below is my magnificum. (For size reference, that’s a 6" pot)

Here is the luxurian x radican. The leaf texture is interesting and the latest is about 10" in length.

For both of those, they have grown in 40-60% humidity under grow light.  
One thing to keep in mind is that they don’t like to be root bound as much as other indoor plants.

Clarinervium is a good starter anthurium. They look like your sample photo. 😊 IME they don’t need more than window light and average humidity.
