CV shaft questions S70 1998

so after 4 hrs, with half my toolbox, and the mother of all breaker bars, successfully changed out drivers side hub bearing....but during the process, noticed/caused hole in inner CV joint boot(drivers side), grease oozing out small hole, not good...my choices, as I see them...boot kit with OEM boots from Tasca, $67 plus shipping, and some more fun in my driveway...haven't done before, but doesn't look too hard...replace whole shaft with rebuild from NAPA, about $60 plus core charge, but I'm concerned about quality of rebuild, and what was the source of the rebuilt shaft....rebuilt OEM, or rebuilt Chinese manufacturer?...or, brand new OEM from Tasca, $350 plus shipping...esxpensive, but worth it?? should be noted that shaft in car now is original(112k on car), but functions fine, with no noise/clunking issues, just a small leak as a result of my clumsiness, with a little credit given to aged boot, as it's been there for 17 yrs now...not sure which way to go, with priority being given to doing the job right, with longevity and quality my priorities...thanks all!
