I'd go for a new one. They are available from around £200 upwards. A new dryer should be fitted at the same time. Allow another £50 or so for that.
Make sure whoever fits it knows what they are doing. I had a new compressor fitted to another vehicle a few years ago. The fitters didn't know that it needed to be charged with oil. It failed a short while later, and spat out metal throughout the air con system. The entire system needed to be replaced - condenser, evaporator, pipework - plus of course the compressor
