HEI...new? used? combination? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Last weekend everyone answered my installation questions, thanks. New question today. When doing this upgrade there seem to be several options:

COMPELETELY new everything (expensive) $125 and up
COMPELETELY new everything (affordable) $60 and up
USED distributor w/NEW HEI cap/coil $40 and up
USED distributor w/old cap/coil $30-50

Is there much of a problem getting a used distributor with new/rebuilt cap or coil? Seems to me this "MIGHT" be a good way to go, but not really sure. Can definitely save some bucks this way, that's for sure.

Please advise (again).
