Given that I don't want to have to replace the unit a third time, I am looking for a recommendation on where to buy one of these that is of better quality.

I understand with the exception of NOS all the aftermarket ones are not that good but I at least want to buy one that is functional and is reasonably accurate.

Also, is it possible to swap out the sending unit without having to drop the tank?
81 Megohms is leakage resistance. If your ground is good, the sender is open. You probably have lower leakage resistance holding a probe in each hand.
