Before I crack open the packaging and install them, do you think it's better to spend the extra time and money to just replace the rack (inners pre-assembled) and get some new outers and mount bushings? With new fluid, it'd probably end up costing about $300.
I just figure it would cost less in the long run, unless these steering racks rarely fail/leak, in which case, I'll just replace what's worn.

I'd replace the whole unit. There is wear on the inside only visible when taken apart and measured. You're penny pinching now, not worth the headache. Get a good quality reputable new rack.
