I did one of those sites linked above and they recommended the Asics GEL-1130 based on my answers. This is for short-distance jogging, purely for exercise.
It's a great shoe (I used the older model for mid-distance training in high school), but under serious duress it probably has a lifespan of ~4 months. I would try to stick with a shoe that limits flex, and given your shoe size, that means a stiffer sole. The shoe you linked should work just fine; just make sure to try them on and "jog" around the store before you buy them. Don't order them online. Go retail.
