I had a handle blank split which caused the spiral teeth to snap holding the movable jaws on a barracuda2. Should I just go for a nova g3 and call it a day or is there something else worth getting? My budget is about $200. I appreciate the help.

That sounds like a humongous catch!
Frankly, a catch shouldn't wreck a chuck. I would wonder about a hidden flaw (stress cracking) in the steel from which the spiral was forged.
