Parameters required to find a replacement for an inductor...

I wish to build a boost converter using LT1070 as shown in the 1st figure. The power inductor suggested by Linear Technology is PE-92113 from Pulse Engineering (pls refer to 2nd figure). Unfortunately, PE-92113 is not available in local market. Therefore, we wish to get a replacement for the inductor. However, as shown in 2nd figure, there are many parameters/specifications that describe an inductor. Besides the inductance value, which parameters are important and required to find an inductor (e.g. manufactured by C&D Technologies) that will match the performance of PE-92113 as close as possible?

By the way, what is the difference between the following two inductances:
[3rd Column] Inductance Typical (uH)
[7th Column] Inductance No DC (uH) +/-20%
And, why the inductance value shown in 7th column is lower than that of 3rd column?

Thanks

The current rating of L1 should be 3 or 4 times the output current, so C&D part 1415440C will work. The no DC +-20% inductance is what is warranted, the typical inductance being higher indicates that the values normally run higher than the mean of the warranted. The other parameters of L1 that are important are:
Self resonance - should be much higher than the operating frequency
Resistance - must be low enuf not to limit the peak current or cause excess loss.
