Be sure to take your time when picking out your pup, ask the shelter to allow you to take it for a walk, so you can see it outside of the very very scary shelter environment. As long as the dog matches your personality, and you have the time, patience, and willingness to research proper training, any dog is a good dog.

Great idea! Also take the kids with you to the shelter, to see how the dog reacts to them and how they react back. Don't feel like you have to get a dog on the first visit, either. It sounds like you're on the right track! I had a adult rescue and she was an awesome dog!
