Types of front racks

Hi,
I'm looking for a front rack, and I've seen different types.

There are the touring style "low-rider" racks which are used for touring.

And there are the Cetma-style racks. It seems pretty self-explanatory what these are good for (hauling beer).

But the type that I'm confused about is this kind:

http://cgi.ebay.com/BIKE-PANNIERS-AL...3%3A1|294%3A50

My questions is what can I do with this type of rack. It looks pretty small so would this be suitable for attaching panniers? Is it suitable for attaching a basket onto it?

My main reason for wanting a front rack is to haul a small amount of groceries, bags, etc. (no more than 25 pounds).

Is it better to get a touring rack, a Cetma-style rack, wald basket, or one of these things in the ebay link(above)?

Thanks in advance,
Darren
