Default 2006 Ram Mega Cab 5.9 L Cummins - Spun Main Bearing

I am 90% sure I have spun a main bearing.

It has that nice rumble and vibration in the pan. Has so much vibration that it broke the center out of the fly wheel.

My questions are:

Option 1: Do I put new rings on and what ever is needed in the low end to repair it?
Option 2: Buy a new engine?

It's gotta come pretty much all apart anyway, might just as well replace typical wear items.
