Actually, "witam" is popular, but its PROPER usage is very limited. It is more of an "welcome", but used as a greeting. To say "witam" you have to be a host, and the person you say "witam" to: a guest. For example if you throw a party you can say "witam". It is also sometimes used as a "hello" but when speaking to your friends mostly. DO NOT use it when writing an email to your professor in Poland. They hate it.

"Cześć" and "hej" means exactly the same and these are used as a informal greeting. Feel free to use them both.
There is also fud fact: you can use "cześć" in a phrase like "oddać komuś cześć" which translates as "to worship someone"
