Best prices I've found, had good luck with quality and they may even sponsor this forum, if I remember correctly.

I guess they were a sponsor/vendor but let it expire..

I've also found that most supply houses price the seal and dust seal set higher than a complete reman.

I'll have to check them out. I have bought from RockAuto and the shipping can kill sometimes. I know, this is light stuff.
I was commenting more on like NAPA or O'Reilly's.

I don't bother with air, I use the hydraulics to push out the pistons.
Remove caliper and drop the pads.
Use a piece of wood (1/4">3/8") between the pistons and slowly push the brake pedal to extend the pistons. You don't want them to pop out (because you lose all hydraulic pressure and still have the other side to do...).
You want the pistons as far out as possible without actually popping free.
Disconnect the caliper from the brake line and remove the pistons by hand.
I've done it this way for years and rarely had to resort to air.
BTW, when you first press the brake pedal (actually, when your assistant hits the pedal), check to see that all four pistons are moving. If not, use more wood to immobilize the moving pistons, leaving the sticky piston free. More pedal should free up the recalcitrant piston.
If you can't get a piston to move with hydraulic pressure, it's time to look for a reman.
The hydraulics put way more pressure to bear than air can.
