Rear Shock

We I went to my LBS to get a new shock as my old one broke the screw and two other adapters and the cheapest they had was 300$ which is WAY Too much! Now I would like to buy one online but not sure what I can and cannot buy. They said my eye-to-eye was 200mm and the stroke was 70mm. Now I'm not sure how much these really matter.
Here is a are pictures of the shock that broke (Click below for larger):

Now I am currently looking at getting one of these or something in a similar price range:

NEW MANITOU SWINGER 4 WAY REAR COIL SHOCK 8.5X2.5 400LB

2006 Fox DHX 5.0 Downhill Freeride Shock
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=110273588419

Any suggestions that are decently priced and shipped to canada would also be nice.
