Best Bladderwort for windowsill growing?

Now that I've discovered my Sundews and whatnot are surviving and thriving on my windowsill, I am considering picking up a few Bladderworts for my collection, as they are one of the few major types of CP I don't have yet.

However, I don't really know which one to aim for. I've heard some are so prolific to almost be considered a weed (on par with Cape Sundews or whatnot), I figure one of those would be my best bet for an easy to grow windowsill plant.

Any suggestions?

I was thinking U. sandersonii for the "angry bunny" flowers, but not 100% sure. I was also seriously considering U. inflata in a fishbowl or small 10 gallon aquarium, although I'm not sure I'm ready to grow an aquatic plant like that.

I wonder if U. Inflata would work as an aquarium plant alongside a fish or two. Apparently it grows very nice in my area -- apparently in Washington State some introduced ones (probably from cultivation) have all but taken over a lake or 4, so...
