I would use the 74LS160A(asynchronous reset) or 74LS162A(synchronous reset). Both count until 10(161A and 163A count until 16), but they only have 4 outputs, one per bit. You can always add a BCD converter after the counter to get nice decimal counts. Notice they have more outputs to ease putting them in cascade so you can get more than one digit, parallel input and stuff. These are a bit more complex than the one you posted but they will allow you to make more things. By the way notice they are from the TTL family so take care with voltages.
