Default Another problem. AC Compressor

I guess my AC compressor is getting tired. It's not producing enough pressure at idle. Works great when I'm driving, but just cant hack it in traffic. Living in Florida that's obviously a problem.
What will I be looking to pay for a new compressor? Should I look for a Jag part, or an after market part? Or is there a Ford part?
Thanks.....

I am prepping to buy a new one off ebay for $150ish. I am replacing quite a few components from ebay that are new. I have never been disappointed from a reputable seller off ebay.

I'm a Jag mechanic and all I can tell you is stay away from the cheaper compressors. They only last 4 - 6 months in my experience and in the end you end up paying more money. You want it done once and right, buy the original compressor or at least a good known brand. I seen many customers decline our work to go somewhere else an put a cheaper compressor only to come back with the same problem a couple of months later. Here is Miami AC work is important, at our shop we only use reputable parts and we warranty them.

Thanks for the advise. I use 'All Jaguar' in Longwood FL. They haven't let me down yet.
