Default rebuild or buy a new one?

I'm doing a rear main and I figure I'll go ahead and replace the oil pump. Would you rebuild or buy a new one. It costs half as much to rebuild.

I always get a new pump and pick-up. It's cheap insurance.

Why are you replacing the oil pump? if it's got low oil pressure it's most likely internal wear or damage in the motor.
