Rack and Pinion replacement.

My rack is shot, leaking out of the boots. My first thought was pull it, get a rebuild kit and put it back in. However, I see next to nothing on info about rebuilding, I guess people don't regularly do it? I can't imagine changing out a few seals is so terrible that it would send people screaming in terror, but I seem to get that impression.

Next choice was either a junkyard or a new one. I'm skeptical about a junkyard one, even getting one that works, it's gonna go bad sooner than later. So I'm opting for a new one unless some has some words of confidence about purchasing a rebuild kit and having success. I'm eyeing this one over on Advance's site:

Buy Fenco Rack and Pinion RP6499 at Advance Auto Parts

or this one

Buy Fenco Rack and Pinion RP6500 at Advance Auto Parts

I'm not sure what the difference is, or if that brand is any good. Anyone installed either?
