Welcome and all the best for your surgery.
I went with the ON-X and conduit. I bike, use power tools, and have had my share of cuts and wounds since being on warfarin. The worst was when I bit my toung while recovering. I think it was the percaset effect. In all cases the bleeding stopped within reasonable time.
I chose the ON-X for many reasons but ultimatly becasue there seems to be good reason to believe it's more forgiving at the low end of the INR range, which may be born out when the PROCAT study is completed.Taking warfarin is easily managed with the home testing unit. It's going on a year now and the ease of managing the drug is just as advertised.
I don't think I would be as care free about the future if I had to live with the odds of a reop and the thought of when I would have to plan to dedicate another six months of my life for it.
Best of luck with your decision.
