Power steering leak-change seal or rebuild?

87 300E. I noted a small power steering leak when underneath the car. A tech at our last tech session said the seal needed to be changed.
Should I just change the seal or usually does the shaft have play(secondary to bearing wear) so the seal will wear quickly? So should I rebuild the pump or buy a rebuilt pump?
How difficult and effective is buying a rebuild kit?
Does it make a difference if I put in a Vickers or ZF?
Thanks- we have another session coming up.
