An orchid pot sounds like a good idea. Really any pot with drainage holes should work well for succulents. The Bonsai Jack soil is very gritty and fast draining. For some people it would too fast draining for Echeveria when combined with an orchid pot, but if you've struggled with over-watering or rot, this could be a great option. Just a note; it would be even better if the pot was a tad smaller, around 4 inches or so. The bigger the pot, the more moisture will be trapped in the soil. With a drainage hole and Cactus Jack soil, that shouldn't be an issue with overwatering, but everything helps!
