Default 2002 sebring convertible top cylinder replacement (what's best)?

I have a 2002 chrysler sebring convertible with the 2.7L just put a new engine in it (rod was trying to remove itself from the block) running / driving good now but the convertible top has been running slower and once wasn't able to fully close itself
I removed the rear seat found the pump, pump looks good but is low on fluid. Looking further I found the cylinders are leaking fluid.
I'd like to replace them both but looking on the internet there are many choices.
I'm wondering if anyone here knows the best place to buy replacement cylinders what brand what site I want to buy quality
Ones I've been looking at
https://www.partsgeek.com/cart/


https://store.convertibleparts.com/chrysler-sebring-convertible-top-lift-cylinder-ram-1998-199-9-2000-2001-2002-2003-2004-2005-2006

but if anyone can point me in the right direction to what ones to buy (doesn't have to be the ones I've linked) I'd very much appreciate it. Thank you in advance

I have not had to replace a cylinder so I am not able to give an opinion. I have replaced the entire top, pump, cylinders and all that I pulled from a boneyard.

I suggest posting posting on 'sebringclub.net', a site dedicated to chrysler convertibles. I believe they should be able to offer opinions on replacements.

as ggoose mentioned, most wind up visiting salvage yards for the entire pump/hose/cylinder assembly to swap in. new parts are ... expensive ... to say the least.
