Narrative:

While being vectored for visual to runway 6, tower reported winds 090-20 KTS and offered runway 10. We said we would take runway 10 and he cleared us for approach to runway 10. While setting up for visual to runway 10 (I even set my heading bug), we set up for runway 15 instead. Controller said on final 'looks like you're set up for runway 15. That's ok,' and cleared us to land on runway 15. Landing uneventful. While taxiing to gate I called tower and apologized. He said 'no problem.' factors contributing: 1) I was not familiar with airport, 2) runway 10 ends just beyond runway 6 (threshold is just beyond runway 6) and difficult to see, 3) partial complacency because of WX and 4) PNF also did not catch error.
