NV4500 5th Gear Gone, whos reman to buy?

Bought a 96 5spd 12V 2WD last week in Baton Rouge.

Hooked a trailer to it and starting towing my 98 home. Halfway through MO we lost 5th gear.

Got it in the shop and had a new updated 5th gear nut sent. Turns out it was already fixed.. Several times apparently.
The splines are completely stripped and you can turn the gear on the shaft easily.

Whos Reman should I get?
Standard Trans or Blumenthals?

I plan on getting a Con Ofe Clutch with the larger flywheel, along with a 1 3/8" shaft.

This truck is a TOW vehicle mainly.. I only want to do this once.

I've read up on Quad's stuff and it sure is $$$$$ pricey.. does the fully splined main shaft cure most 5th gear issues?

Thanks in advance.
