Replace ABC with a coil overs on a 2001 S500

My hydraulic pump for the ABC system is leaking and not holding up the front right side...we put a re-manufactured one in and it started clicking then blew a high pressure hose off the car..(this was after being shipped the wrong pump twice)!
My mechanic and I are both over it and I just want the car back on the road...he wants to replace the system with a coil over one and eliminate any further problems with hydraulic, what do you think?

In addition the power steering never had a problem or a failure, so do you think we can use the original pump for the steering portion??

To clarify, you can use the original pump for the steering...but you can't let the suspension side run dry.
