I've been considering some options and was looking for opinions from others. So far, I have been considering Nike Zoom Structure 18, Saucony Guide 8, and the Ravenna's. Any other suggestions? Also, any experiences from the aforementioned ones?

Nike Lunarglide is fantastic if you like the feel of the Lunar shoes. I like it way better than the Structure -- much lighter and just feels faster.

I have these reef slippers and they have no stability but man!
Really good. Minimal shoes are the future.
I have the Ravennas. Ive had a total of 7 pairs of them. They're great. I'd recommend them
Every major shoe manufacturer makes at least one good stability shoe. Go to a specialty shoe store and have them analyze your level of pronation and make some recommendations. Fit is another key issue. You may not fit Adidas well for your size, but you might fit Nike, etc. New Balance generally offers a selection of widths for their shoes.
Basically the only suggestion I can take seriously. These clowns are giving me jokes, you're giving me answers.
Oooh, good topic.
Due to a foot injury, and my favorite mild stability shoes being discontinued, I've been shopping around for the last few months. I'm currently running in the Nike Zoom Structures and they're ok, not great. Not sure if you are male or female, but the female version is comfortable, yet loud. The soles are very plasticky and it sounds like I'm wearing heels when I'm running.
I'm also toying around with the latest version of the Mizuno Wave Inspires which have been great for short to medium distances. Ran a 20 in them this weekend and my shins and feet were pretty sore the next day. Disclaimer: that could be due to my injury and f'd up hips, not the shoes. Who knows?
Next up is the GT-2000 and the DS Trainers - the former for training and the latter as a marathon shoe.
Interesting about the Lunar, always thought those were more neutral.
Good luck! Report back if you find anything.
I found the Guide to be a lot stiffer and more supportive than Ravenna. For me, that wasn't a good thing. So again, you really should visit a specialty store and get several ideas. Hopefully they have a space for you to take a short jog -- even indoors. I knew after about 2 steps that Guide was a bad fit for me.
If you haven't been to a specialty store yet, make sure you're clear about what you want and that you want to try multiple shoes. They should accommodate, and if they are a good shop, they will be very patient with you and guide you to a shoe that fits great. My shop just went through about 8 trainers with me and ended up suggesting DS Trainer 20, which are great for emergency.
