Although seat height, level and position on the rails can be set properly by an experienced fitter saddle selection is an individual's choice.
There are endless threads on choosing the "right" saddle but it's a road we each pedal alone. If you have a saddle that you were comfortable on from an old bike I'd move that to the new one and have your shop re-fit you.

If you don't have a favorite saddle the modern minimalist design I think can be seen in your pic may not work as well for you as a classic design w/ a long well padded nose & and bit of width such as a Sella San Marco Rolls. Not a recommendation, an example, ask your shop.

Remember it's miles & hours that build saddle/fundament cooperation as well as power & fitness.
