Rack and pinion replacement

I installed a set of bilsteins on my FX4 yesterday and noticed a leak on the rack. I would like info on replacement brands that anyone has experience with installing. I plan on replacing the rack and the pump along with any thing else that looks suspect.

There are three that I am looking at as options motorcraft, ACDelco, and cardone. The first two only have reman option and the cardone has new and reman units.

A remanufactured unit - depending on who did the work - can be just as good as OEM. And a "new" unit - depending on who built it - like Dorman for instance - can be fairly poor quality. I would trust the Motorcraft and AC Delco units over the Cardone.
