I like the white plain cotton one at the top, in the ready tied collection but I also really like the Silk Patterned one in the gold/creamy colour that you have posted a link of, very smart with a white shirt underneath as I like the contract of the two colours together with the gold stock pin, will look lovely with a blue jacket.

I have a fetish for stocks but I’m not keen on the loud coloured glittery types as they tend to look a bit cheap, but each to their own. :)
 
For me I'd want a 'normal' stock not a pre-tied one. I don't think they end up being very neat when they come ready tied. So I wouldn't choose either of those. What is your jacket like? I'd like the creamy embroidered fabric with a nice navy one, or maybe a very pale plain yellow. If your wearing tweed you can get away with something brighter and more patterned. I'd only wear white with a black jacket.
I've had two from this lady http://www.bespokestocks.com/ at shows. really gorgeous fabric and tons to choose from. I've got a very pale blue paisley number to go with my brown tweed which looks ace IMO!
