ya.. they'll work.. but why pay more when good quality sump pumps are not more than 50-80 bucks.. those pump you posted are submersion utility pump.. for flooded basements..

Everyone here will give you a different recommendation. Get a quality submersible pump designed for constant aquarium use.
Lifeguard Quiet One pumps are good
Mag Drive pumps are good
I would avoid Rio and ViaAqua, but that's just me. I've heard bad things about them.
i use Quiet one pumps .. i like them .. i know a lot of people who use them .. they like them .. take that for what you will ..
the HD pumps are not made for constant use and will burn out quickly... they also use a lot of power and transfer heat...
im a big fan of rio pumps (i like the HF series).. quietone pumps are also good..
bigalsonline.com usuially has pretty good pricing on both types
