New Rack & Pinion

I'm going to purchase a new rack & pinion (see Help - noise when turning post below).
Which rack would you suggest/from where?
I see that autozone has a few of them, i know you can check codes to match it up, but is one better then the other and if so can I use the better one even if it's not the one that was on it before?

How hard is it to R/R the rack and pinion?

Thanks

I'll be doing mine (hopefully) tomorrow.
I'm very leary, as the replacement rack I bought from Autozone is apparently the same rack for all suspension types from 93-02. (Yes the a/z website shows a different rack for fe2/fe4 suspensions, but if you follow through with either selection it takes you to part number 64107. Same when you select a 94 or a 00.

That scares me, because GM lists different part numbers, and I've read that they're different.

I guess I know more tomorrow evening.

I replaced mine on my 97 WS6 with one from autozone, it works great with absolutely no problems.
