Default Busted my oil pan, any suggestions for a new one?

Well i screwed up and put the jack through the oil pan..little slippage caused a big mess. I need a new one, any suggestions for an aftermarket one or should a stocker suffice?

Also, do i need to drop the K-member to get the old one out? i have a BMR tubular Kmember.

Thanks

just get it welded by a reputable shop. I bought my pan like that for $50 and paid $50 to get it welded. I haven't seen one go for less than $140
