What's best......
Buy new injectors.
Send old ones for recon.
Buy a test pump from ebay and recon yourself and have the pump for future testing.

They aren't that difficult to recon yourself, you will need a pop tester, which as you say will be available for future use.

On the other hand, if you are busy, getting them done at an injection place isn't a fortune either, and they should do a good job, and have a good quality tester.

Down to personal circumstances, really. I wouldn't buy new ones unless the old ones are a real mess, broken bodies, etc.
 
I'd go for recon, compromise on price. Yes you could buy the kit, but it will probably sit in the shed for 10 years before you need it again.
 
I normally get injectors re-conditioned, BUT .... recently, I have found that the price difference between new outright and recon sometimes isn't that much, so it's a simple "value" decision for me now ....:)

I'll cheerfully buy tools too, but, as post #3 - even with how ever many tractors and disco's we have, and 100K mile service intervals, It'd sit in the shed for too long to bother, IMHO.
