I've got a leaky front caliper. Any recommendations for replacements? Rebuild or replace?

rovahfarm has new, non-reman calipers for $130. I got my D90 calipers from him.

I just installed new EBC dimpled and grooved rotors, and the Akebono pads. I have read mixed revues on here, but I think, with proper break-in procedure, they should last along time. I did it because the wheels had to be cleaned weekly from brake dust and the Akebono are supposed to be almost free of dust.
