Default Injectors - aftermarket vs remanufactured vs service

Just seeing what people's experiences are with the various options on injectors. In the process of ironing out an annoying issue, and with the car now close to 300,000kms, I think the injectors deserve a look. OEM injectors are no longer available. So options are:

1. Aftermarket injectors - ICON series (PAT) seems to be most readily available. Anyone had experiences with these?

2. OEM Remanufactured (not refurbished) - Seen a couple of shops selling remanufactured Bosch injectors. Cheaper than new aftermarkets. Is this a good idea?

3. Get the current ones serviced - cheapest option, but will it do the same job as a remanufactured? Have heard that if it is leaking, and depending on cause, it may not be servicable and I'd still have to get a replacement. And what kind of $$$ are we looking at for a good service, I've been quoted anywhere from $30 to $70 an injector. Big differences there.
