Starter rebuilding?

Had a thread on the finicky starter in my FG a few days ago. I decided to purchase a used starter since I'm pretty sure the existing starter has a problem and I wanted to keep a spare on hand. I'm looking for opinions on whether I should send the existing starter out for a rebuild, or simple disassemble, look for problems, replace the brushes and call it good? What should I look for when I disassemble it? Any other obvious wear items besides brushes and bearings?
