Help: Source for brake calipers?

I need at least one rear brake caliper for a 2009 9-5 Aero Combi with solid rotors, frozen on the car. Since genuine calipers are no longer available, what brand of rebuilt calipers are the best bet. I know rebuilt calipers can be problematic, I recall having a 900 caliper from a Saab dealer in the 90s leak as soon as I installed it. Nugeon claims their calipers have some sort of anti-corrosion coating on them. I also recall that a lot of rebuilt calipers (9000 in this case) are cooked in some sort of chemical to remove the rust so they rust something fierce as soon as they are installed. Some 9000 rear calipers even came with the hand brake cam missing! I haven’t rebuilt a caliper in the past so it may not be the best time to learn. Are there any reliable places that rebuild your caliper and return them? The car can sit for a while so I have time. This is a lot of questions but surely other have had this problem with a frozen caliper.
