Do you think having it sleeved and then rebuilding it myself is better than buying new? I'm thinking once it's sleeved I'll probably never need to buy a new one, only rebuild it again if necessary.
I'm assuming Wagner is a reputable replacement. I can get a new Wagner MC49221 for $75 and free shipping.

Unless this is a show car/numbers matching/original survivor, etc., I'd be putting a dual pot MC on it, post-haste!
If you are bound to keep it a single reservoir, you can see if the bore is pitted. If not, a simple hone and rebuild kit (if you can still buy such a thing) would be my choice over a new or rebuilt unit unless cost is no factor.
I agree sleeving it is not usually a DIY repair; it requires precise fitting, the sleeve itself, and rebuild kit to boot.
