Wiper motor recommendations

Looking for any advice on wiper motors. My '59 has electric wipers but they moved super slow. Would like to replace the old motor with new and continue to use the factory switch. I can either get a NOS motor or go with the Dennis Carpenter reproduction. I dislike the modern looking wiring clips on the repo part and am not sure if you can use the factory switch as it comes with it's own. Is there any advantage of using the DC over the factory motor? I'm not sure if all the old motors were just slow and the modern replacements work better. Thanks.

Can you get the cover off the gear portion? Maybe the grease in it is all hardened up. If you are going to buy a new one anyway, it is worth checking into.

The N.O.S. motor on my truck works just fine.
