Default Master Cylinder suggestions

I need to order a new master cylinder for my track car and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on which brand or are they generally all the same?

My options are:
Cardone
Raybestos
Bendix
Tru Torque
Nippon
OEM Honda
or;
Rebuild kit

I've had good experiences with the local autoparts store brand (Nippon I think).

Some rebuilt units are junk for heavy duty use.

New should be $50 or less anyway...

go new with a decent brand. the problem with some rebuilders/reman'ed units, is that you don't always get the exact one back (eg 13/16", 15/16", 7/8").

So does anyone have a good source for rebuilt OEM units? Some of the brands listed above say reman'ed but I suspect that doesn't mean reman'ed OEM.

Thanks again for all your help everyone, Brand new Nissin unit ordered from Getfast at a very reasonable price.
