I use a cool mist one, it's from VaporRub and you can add some liquid vaporrub into the water. It helps to stop the dry throat and cough that you can get in the winter due to dryer weather. Also, sometimes it's just bowls of water around the house or boiling a pan of water on the stove for a few hours a day. We have done both.
I looked into putting a humidifier on the furnace at my condo... it actually is not that expensive... I want to say it was an add on that cost maybe $150.
