I don't know too much about brands or types, but I'll just say that if you're going to play often, don't go the cheap route. I got one for like 40 bucks years ago and to say it has not stood the test of time is an understatement. I've played on cork boards a few times and those are really nice, but you may not want the metal darts--they're completely different and obviously an issue if you have kids. Edit: Just looked at that board you linked to.... Seems like you know your stuff a lot more than I do anyway. That board looks pretty nice to me, so if that doesn't hold up, I wouldn't know what to tell you, unfortunately.
