Calipers - rebuild or replace?

Changed the brake hoses on my 560SL and flushed the brake fluid. Hoses were original and brake fluid a bit nasty. I see that I now have a leak at both rear wheels. Will pull them to verify, but it's likely to be the calipers which are also original I'm sure with the original seals. So my question is, what is the wise thing to do? I can get new/rebuilt ones, ATE probably?, from the dealer for $185. I can get a reseal kit to rebuild them for about $10. I can get the WorldPac re-manufactured caliper, brand Cardone, from Phil for $83. I'd almost lean to getting the dealer product since I don't know about the Cardone brand and I also don't know what the inside of the caliper is going to look like for a rebuild. Comments appreciated.
