Yes, long term results do depend on your conditions and how you usually treat your plants.
Assuming your plants have low to medium light like most homes, and that you tend to water more frequently than needed, like most people who ask questions here seem to-- I would say Peace lily is easy.
I do like Peperomia obtusifolia, found it easy and tolerated a few different placements.
Aglaonema is pretty tough. The old green or green/silver ones, not the new red/pink ones.
Parlor palm has been easy for me.
Dracaena braunii- what is sold as lucky bamboo.

Yes, if you have bright light/sunny windowsill, succulents can be great. If not bright enough, like mine in winter, they may grow differently (stretched out)

What do you already have?


Thank you for the suggestions! I have all my plants in a window that gets medium light most of the day and high but indirect light for a few hours towards the end of the day. I currently have a candle succulent, a gasteria, tradescantia nanouk propogations, a mix of sedum succulents, pink polka dot plant, prayer plant, and pothos. I have only had them for a week or two so they are doing well but we will see in a few more weeks.
