Default 1999 Civic Hatchback...Power steering rack options?

Well, I found out why my power steering rack is leaking...the seals are shot. So I'm looking into a remanufactured unit vs a junkyard unit. I'd prefer not to have to change this out twice!

Are the reman units any good? If I go that route, I'll probably be getting the A1 Cardone rack, has anyone gotten one of these, how long has it lasted you? Any issues?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help y'all, lol. After reading what few reviews A1 Cardone has for their rack and pinions, I've decided to go with a junkyard unit. Cross your fingers I get a good one!

IIRC you can buy all the seals for the original Honda rack and just rebuild it, or rebuild the junkyard unit.
