With needles, and this includes circulars as well as others, is that there are a lot of things to consider: material the needles are made from, the flexibility, points, cost and then there is the type of yarn you are using and the type of knitting you are doing. They all combine in different ways to make some work better in one situation and another in another situation, besides all around personal preference. So even a single knitter may prefer a certain needle in one situation and a different one in another situation.
I have a 16" Clover needle for hats/etc. For myself the Clover needles are not my favorite, but I will use them sometimes. But I taught my husband to knit and he preferred the Clover needles over other things I have, so we all differ.
I don’t have many of the well known brands of needles. I have some old (probably Boye) needles in double points and a few circulars and I like them fine. I have some Inox needles that I like, they have nice pointy points and I think they are what I have been using lately (dpns) for some fine yarn working twisted-stitch work. I have a lot of old nylon needles in circulars that I use a lot. I don’t know if anyone makes these anymore, but I love them. After the LYS here went out of business I bought all of the ones she had and still have a bunch of brand new ones. 
More than I’ll ever need but thought they would be nice to share with people I teach to knit.
I agree with Jan that the Clover will probably be fine for your edge. But my concern with that is that the needle called for in the pattern may not be the needle that you (personally) would need to get the gauge you are going to want, so you may end up needing to buy more than one size to do your project. Maybe you’ll be one of the folks who can get gauge on the needle called for. We can hope so.
