Have you considered getting the freon recharged? Sometimes it's more economical in the short term to recharge the freon every year or two. The determining factor is the speed of the leak. I have a slow leak that needs recharged every 2-3 years, but if you have a fast leak, that won't work.
If you're going to buy a new one, and are sure you'll be moving soon, I'd go cheap. It's not like AC brand is a determing factor for most homebuyers.
One thing that should be considered is the efficiency of the new one over the old one. If you're going to a 60% efficient, to an 80% efficient, you'll see a nice savings on your power bill. That alone will offset some cost. I wouldn't go to the extent of 90% or high efficiency though, you'll be spending money that you'll never recoup.
