Default Window motor Replacement

My drivers side motor is bad or relaly near going completely out.Stops every 4 inchs for alittle then goes another 4 inchs, So I was wondering where can I get the best window motor so I dont have to do it over. Im gonna do a switch also cause I read that can go also.Im gonna do it all new so I know that its gonna work where can I get a switch and what is a good brand or good thing to look for in eather the switch or the motor and what site is everyone using to get a pretty detailed picture and instructions on how to do it.I had a mechanic quote me at around 200 bucks So funck that it couldnt be that much of a pain to do that I cant do it myself, hell I did all 8 spark plugs and wires so anything is easyer than that #7.
Any help is greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance Jim

I wouldn't worry about replacing the switch - and you might find it's already been replaced before (no drilling rivets) if you're not the original owner.
