It depends on your mechanical skills. I didn't consider myself good enough to reem out the piston and trust it, so I went with a rebuild. I also asked a local mechanic to confirm my diagnosis before ordering a replacement.

Before I replaced the caliper, I went in and made sure the brake line nut at the caliper could be loosened. They do get a bit hard. Check the flexible brake line for cracks and replace at the same time, you will be bleeding the lines anyway.

Grease the new slide pns on the caliper before installing, they don't do that at the refurb shop. Autoparts stores sell silicone brake grease in $1 packets, one will do all 4 brakes.
