[Healeys] Starter motor

Forgive me; I know this subject has been discussed before, but I couldn't 
nail it in the archives.

I'm likely going to replace my BT7's starter motor, as it seems to have a 
dead spot on the armature. Most of the time it works, but occasionally it 
doesn't turn over.

My questions are:

(1) Should I replace it with a gear motor starter, or find a rebuilt 
original? My car is a driver.

(2) Are there any "gotchas" with a gear motor starter?

(2) Who are the best vendors for either type?

Thanks!
