I have said several times that I need to do shoe research...
The best shoe for running, in my humble opinion, is Saucony. Lightweight, stability, durability. You want these options and more, Saucony is the shoe for you. Not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. Apparently 9 out of 10 runner's prefer Saucony. (No, I don't have a link for that fact. It is my own assumption from what I have read).
The second best shoe is the Nike Free. Almost identical options Completely different look. Another expensive shoe - however, if you have the Nike+ Shoe Pod, the Free is perfect as it is Nike+ compatible.
After these two, I couldn't find out much else. Some love their New Balance (which used to be the #1 shoe), while others love their Under Armour or Vibram Toe Shoes.
Me? I have decided that Reebok RealFlex are definitely not good shoes... for me.
But I keep on walking.
Runners World rates running shoes each year. That may be a good place to start looking for some supporting stats. However, I do know Saucony is frequently highly rated.
