Default 89 Slave Cylinder and hose replacement

Appears my slave is leaking on my 89. When the pedal is pressed in the fluid is coming out so I'm guessing seal is shot. Recommendations on a better then avg. replacement? I read about a modified slave from DRM but when I contacted them via email they responded they don't sell them anymore. I would like to get something that is going to last and is built better then oem if possible. Running a spec. stage 2+ clutch and alum. flywheel. I would also like to get a steel braided line from the master to the slave if anyone knows where I could get this also. If no other options are avaiable I guess NAPA? Thanks in advance.

I have experience with a new Valeo slave in my 96 zf6 car. Also have experience with an oem rebuilt slave. I notice no difference between them. But, I can't get it bled for whatever reason. Hopefully bleeding the system will be a breeze you.
Also, I installed a new clutch line from zip corvette. They come braided.
