Depends on how your old one broke. If your old one is repairable
(IE it didn't ventilate the case, or shred the insides to metal salad)
rebuild it.

If the old one grenaded and you just want to get the car running, go
get one at a boneyard, bolt it in, and pray it wasn't going bad too.

In the North and East they will be rusted out and in the yards, in
the South and West they'll still be on the road. They really don't
know how many miles were on the car, but if they need to get you to
bite they'll still claim it's "Low Miles"...

If you want to keep driving the car for several more years, go get
one at a boneyard and rebuild it (or get it rebuilt) before you put it
in. Might be as simple as take it all apart and install new bearings
and races and seals and crush rings as needed, set the pinion
clearance, and install it. If you find worn gears or crunchy
bearings, change them.

If you go to a shop, take your old one in and get an opinion. If
you need a new core to start from take them BOTH rear axles, they
still can salvage needed parts from yours without buying them. And
your old brakes might be better.
