Default Do I rebuild my turbo or replace it?

I have a 2001 6.5 turbo diesel... I purchased it in 2019 with only 19,100 miles. I just got back from a trip and it now has 30k.
Do I rebuild the factory turbo? Or is it time to replace it with an upgrade?
What did you do?

Never owned a pickup with a diesel motor, but as a professional CDL driver, I wouldn't touch a rebuilt turbo in anything I owned.
