Replacement steering columns

Ok here is the stupid question of the day regrading tilt steering columns.
First off the issues:
Just like the other post regarding the gear shift handle fitment, the feature on my column is worn, my tilt is worn and wobbly, the internal horn and turn signal wiring is worn, the turn signal cam assembly is cracked and needs to be replaced.
Ok you get the point.
I can buy just about everything and repair it but aside from the turn signal cam assembly and wiring I believe I’d have to pull the column to replace said wiring along with the rubber grommet at the gauge cluster where it mounts to the dash.
Even doing so I would still have the issues with the column length, a couple inches shorter would be nice albeit not needed.

My questions:
With so many different columns available, varying in price from $250-$1000 WHAT TILT COLUMNS ARE THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK AND WHICH SHOULD I AVOID?
Every reproduction seller, LMC, Classic, Holley, IDIDIT, Flaming River, etc. has them, heck even Amazon even sells them.
They’re all wired with neutral safety wiring, new turn signal cams etc. I’ve replaced just about everything on this K10 to keep it looking stock, so repro parts are ok by me. I just need a good steering column that isn’t sloppy and will last until I decide to build a K5.
