That website looks suspect. I would not trust it at all. $20 for Windows 10? Yeah right. I bet those are shady keys they are selling and 1 day your system will be deactivated. As for the version. Standard is fine for a home user.

I have windows 10 pro on my spare machine and have been warming up to it quite a bit lately. ive been a 7 user for years and have been reluctant to change the OP on my main machine. that said, which one should I get? and how much should I expect to pay?
NZXT switch 810
Dell 2560x1440p 144hz gsync
i5 6600k 4.3ghz
Gskill 16gb 3200mhz
gigabyte Z170X G6
eVga 1080SC
corsair 1000wt psu
noctua cpu cooler
corsair force gt 180gb
WD 500gb storage
WD 300gb velociraptor
Any of the 64-bit versions. But if all you do is gaming and the occasional browsing, then the home edition will be sufficient. The PRO version just offers more language support and a few other things targeted to the business owners. There's really no need for it unless you specifically use those items or want windows in 40 different languages ^_^. As for pricing, I generally use newegg as my starting ball park and search around that price range to see if i can find better deals. Never seen anything for less than 1/2 of newgg's price in the same condition (i.e new). So if you're finding a key for significantly less its probably not legit or going to remain legit for long.
