As above, i would prefer sarracenia variety because i already have the proper soil for them, but any other kind will do

Your question doesn't make any sense...?

I think he means rather than the type that have the hairs so the bugs cant climb back out. He wants a drowning trap.

Yes what shimizoki said, the ones with the digestive fluids on the inside. look at this video this guys pitcher plant has liquid inside

That plant is a nepenthes; a tropical pitcher plant. They develop liquid in their traps which can then be topped up (if the pitcher is over-turned and spills its contents) with rainwater.

Thats a nepenthes not a flytrap. Nepenthes produce lots of fluids in there pitchers to digest prey.

Mybe not a venus flytrap, but Its possible to be classified as one because it does infact trap flies. Thats probably what the original poster was talking about weeks ago.

There isn't really a proper growing mix for any plant. Its just that some plants prefer to be kept in airier soils, waterlogged soils etc.
And firt you have to understand which plant is which. The video you are showing shows a nepenthes sibuyanensis (Correct me if im wrong) and in your first post, it says that you want a saracenia and sarracenia and nepenthes are completely different plants. Even if you wanted a nepenthes instead of a sarracenia, neps have two conditions which they have to be grown in in order to survive. Lowland plants need conditions of releatively high temps (20c to 28c) and Highland plants need relatively cool temps but not cold. If you want a sarracenia that gets water in their pitchers, get a s.purpurea as they are good for beginners.
