Both are a big job, especially if done on the road. I would be straightening the original one if possible with a porta power or other device if possible. We have not seen the damage. It is a 1/2 hour job. At one GMCMI rally someone showed up with a screw device and we were straitening bogies for people. None took more than 1/2 hour.
The toe in (and out) is the important thing. Caster does not exist on a rear wheel. Camber should be zero but being off a little bit will not hurt anything and could be corrected if necessary several thousand miles later.
