I don't have too much experience with a lot of the cheaper end light equipment, but I think I can safely say that almost everything on the cheaper end will be about the same. However, LumoPro does have a pretty good reputation and is often recommended.
The thing with a lot of the cheaper stuff is that the stands are simply just not as sturdy and won't hold up to stress/weight as well as more expensive ones. Especially once/if you start getting into using larger and more powerful lights as opposed to standard camera mounted flash guns, this will start to become an issue. One thing I will suggest though is to try and get a boom stand. A boom stand will always be more versatile than a straight stand and you will find that especially if you're taking photos of things laying flat on the floor, it's significantly easier to mount a light pointing downward on a boom than to awkwardly hold your stand or attempt to point it downwards.
Recommendations all depend on budget, but sort of guessing yours by what you linked this is the cheapest decent boom I could fine. Booms do tend to be quite pricey with a lot of quality models going to upwards of $200. However, I think $50 for this one is a pretty good deal.
