I would say that whatever you do make it as easy as possible to work on for future problems that you might have to do. In other words get as much standard fittings and hoses as you can without a bunch of adapters.
well I think you got it, it fooled me I was thinking it was gonna be the steering box by the way it was described acting. you are better off it being the cylinder!
is your steering cylinder in front of the front axle or behind? that will change how the cylinder fill direction works.
is there a local hydraulic service shop near you , if so take it off(cylinder) and have them test it , if it is tested good then you know it is the steering itself.
by chance you did hit something hard enough to tweak the steering? a friend of mine did that on his ford going way to fast in high grass and caught a stump wiped out the steering spool.
so you have a common sump system , if the 3 pt. lift works properly you should be able to eliminate the pump, it could be something with the steering control at the base of the steering column or the cylinder . I guess a pressure gauge connected to the steering output to see if it is sending out fluid to activate the cylinder. Maybe if it is easy do two gauges one on each input.
try bleeding the steering system air can give no action in steering, of course if the steering system has it’s own reservoir make sure there is fluid to the level mark , also running to heavy of fluid in the steering will make it vague until heat makes it thin out.
