We live in a 2BHK on the 7th floor. Everyone says get a Persian; a neighbour says an indie is hardier. How do you decide?

Personality matters more than breed. Indie (desi) cats are usually hardy and adaptable and cost little to adopt — many shelters and rescuers have kittens and adults waiting. Long-haired breeds like Persians need daily brushing and regular eye and coat care, and flat-faced breeds can have breathing and eye issues, so they need a committed owner and a good vet.
If you can, meet the actual cat: spend an hour, ask about their routine, and see how they behave with strangers. An adult cat's nature is already visible; a kitten's is a surprise either way.
