rebuilt is better... used ones are so unknown.... but buy from CT or Carquest or NAPA cuz they get 'um from high volume rebuilders.

yep, at least with rebuilds you know whatever was wrong with them was fixed, unlike ones from a scrapper, could last you 1000 km then break, or last you 200,000 its a bigger risk.
