Default Sending Unit Question

Found my fuel leak finally. There is a tiny crack where the metal line meets the plate at the sending unit, so it needs to be replaced.

Question is, any reason to get an AC Delco unit as opposed to a repo? I see repos for about $80-85, and AC Delcos are about twice that. For what it's worth, the broken one is an AC Delco.

I went with a repo , and it works fine.

Be sure to get a new O ring and locking cam.

The new unit should have inner screen with it.

Spend the money saved on more critical parts or upgrades
