I would recommend the DIY repair option. When I bought the car, the suspension wouldn't raise at all. I removed the compressor and replaced the piston ring and it's been fine since.
The job only takes 1-2 hours overall and total cost was around £15. The hardest part was removing the bolts on the compressor cylinder as one in particular was in tight (snapped a hex key in half trying to remove it!)
