Replace Toilet Flange?

[brb]

Should I replace this flange or just leave it alone during my remodel? If so am I best off cutting the cast iron pipe and using a Fernco adaptor to a new pvc flange or just using something like the Sioux chief push tite flange?

I like to use a spigot 4x3 closet bend with a 4" closet flange.
Once you remove the old lead bend, you can use a rubber Fernco in the hub to install the new pipe.
Here I used the Fernco with a 4x3 flush bush, 3" pipe to 4x3 closet bend.

Thanks for the fast response Terry. After looking at it a bit more here, I also realize that due to the location of the pipe its going to be hard to find something that fits. In the pic you can see that the pipe is almost at the same height as the floor joists. With the finished floor being only another 1 1/2" above the joists. I guess I may have to go and see if I can find something that has a really tight bend which I don't think is good but not a lot of other options?

That's why I use the spigot 4x3 closet bend with the 4" closet flange. If needed, I can notch the hub flange where it drops over the inside of the bend.
Been there done that.
