I'd stick with the original, possibly replace the seal collar.
Beware of the term 'genuine' when buying parts, along with OEM, OEM quality etc.
I don't think many (if any) of the original suppliers would still be making/supplying parts. Genuine might mean sourced from Land Rover but where do they get it from ??
I usually hit the stub axle with a wire brush in an angle grinder.
Removing the seal collar is reasonably easy, drill a hole part way through from the side & split with a chisel. They don't seem to be that hard and the chisel normally opens them enough that the collar will then fall off.
