Rebuilt caliper from Rockauto, which brand?

Been searching this forum for a few hours and couldn't find an answer. I'm buying a replacement front left caliper since the one I have has bent knuckles and is now sticking (finally got it diagnosed down to that). Rockauto has a few brands all about the same price range:

Centric
Raybestos
A1-Cardone
Beck Arnley
Nastra
Wagner

Anyone have any experience with any of these? Suggestions? (I could use some brake pad suggestions too, nothing crazy expensive. It's a commuting daily driver)

I can't comment on the caliper issue since I haven't had to replace one, but I can recommend the Wagner Thermoquiet Ceramic pads (QC537 rear, QC787 front). I've had them on for over a year with no complaints. An added bonus is they're the cleanest pads I've ever had, period (40 plus years of driving with disc brakes). I paid just about $50 (total) for both sets from Amazon (just for a point reference, and that was a little over a year ago).
