I've found that knee braces that have the two metal rods down either side are fine. I would play soccer in them for hours. Something like this. The metal rods really absorb shock too. I can jump up and down while wearing them and no knee pain. Stomp on the ground. Nothing. And that hole area in the front keeps the patella in place. I would get one from a local store though because if it ends up being too loose or too tight you can take it back and get another one more easily.
