Maybe I should have qualified my answer as my opinion. But I've seen some comments that suggest the the quality of remans isn't what it used to be. And it's always been crap-shoot as to how many new parts you'll get. Maybe new housings...maybe not. Maybe new bearings, maybe not. Some other stories like oil pick-up tubes plugged with sealant, mis-matched rotors etc etc.
For me and what I wanted a couple of years ago it was easier and less expensive to rebuild for a coolant seal. He also mentioned modifications and port work could be done at the same time.
Had I had a hard seal failure a reman might have been the way to go though.
