Master Cylinder Reccomendation?

Hey guys! I've been looking around for a replacement brake master cylinder. I found these two on amazon, and I don't really care about the price difference.


One is a brand new dorman
Amazon.com: Dorman M39160 New Brake Master Cylinder: Automotive Amazon.com: Dorman M39160 New Brake Master Cylinder: Automotive


Ant the other is a remanufactured Cardone
Cardone 11-1878 Remanufactured Import Master Cylinder : Amazon.com : Automotive Cardone 11-1878 Remanufactured Import Master Cylinder : Amazon.com : Automotive

Is it worth getting either one of them? Price doesn't matter to me (Brakes are kind of important) and I would like a recommendation from someone who had firsthand experience.

Oh, and feel free to show me others, I just went to amazon as a base starting place.

I purchased a reman Dorman one and the residual valve (for rear drum) spring did not have enough tension on it leading to not so nice pedal feel.
I took it apart and stretched it out and I have been fine since, but I shouldn't have had to do that to a freshly reman'ed MC.

Cheers,
Kam
