Well, if it's a back-up, then I'd go with a Raymarine (former Autohelm) below decks unit; and UPSIZE the ram to the max.

() If you're more serious, get a (Robertson, now known as) Simrad hydraulic unit -- but I don't know if the Simrad units are really the same as the Robertson name they bought.
The reason for the Raymarine -- it's probably the most popular units, probably the least expensive; and parts are pretty plentiful.
