AC Compressor crapped out, new or rebuilt?

My "newish" 84 300D has let me down in the comfort regime....
need a new compresser, new or rebuilt? Behr, APCO? GM?
What is the consensus? There was "heated" (no pun intended) discussion on R134a vs R12 vs Freeze 12 on other posts that went on forever. I am interested in a combination of longevity, ease of service, and ECONOMY. What parts can I conceivably do myself if I can access proper equipment at an auto hoppy shop? If I have leaked out all of my R134a, can I go ahead and replace the compressor and R/D, seals and then have the system evacuated leak checked and charged?


Lastly - who has the best prices out there?

Thanks
