Buying MTB rims for replacement

I recently tacoed my front wheel on my voodoo hoodoo 2012/2013 whilst doing a jump. I managed to get the rim reasonably straight with my arms on the trail so I could cycle home. Where the rim is joined the joint is off and the edge of the rims do not meet. Should I,
1. Get the rim trued in the shop and that will be fine for future cycling.
2. Buy a new rim and give it to the shop with the old wheel and ask the shop to replace the rim.
3. Buy a whole new wheel and put that on myself.
I am worried that the rim I buy won't fit my original wheels will these rims: (nukeproof generator am rim 26")

Thanks in advance.

A new wheel is the cheapest option.
By the time you've paid for new rim, spokes and labour it's not worth it unless you have some really good hubs.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350
