Linear taper will give the impression of little or nothing happening through much of the rotational arc of the pot shaft.
The CTS brand name used to be a byword for professional quality. Their Taiwanese factory production has been disappointing. Strangely, the items made for third parties still seem to be of the expected standard. (Maybe, it is just old stock?) I like the CTS pots marketed as DiMarzio Pro Parts.

the pots in your photo are the dish back/vintage style back pots which are notorious for being very loose and too easy to turn. Given that pots loosen up over time anyway, I personally like a pot with a little bit of stiffness. Nothing too stiff mind. As @ICBM says, go for some of the premium pots. Not much more expensive and worth the extra.
Theres a few on the market in the UK. I’d go for the TVT (true vintage taper) pots by CrazyParts. The
quality is superb and you get a slightly more linear (but still audio) and therefore more useable taper from 0-10
