Sounds like a standard 8" stroke ASAE type cylinder. Extremely common, as it was the size cylinder used on pretty much every piece of towed farm equipment from the 1940's into the 1970's. Everything was designed to use the same cylinder so the farmer only had the expense of owning one cylinder. The cylinder stayed with the tractor, not the implement.
Never heard of "pulse rating" before. I would think maybe it has to do with shock loads on the cylinder which can cause high spikes in pressure. Logically, I don't think you can have too much, and most likely if your plow is old enough to be using standard cylinders, it likely doesn't have any "pulse rating" specified. So, more is likely better, but don't go breaking the bank trying to get some cylinder with 120,000PSI pulse rating or anything crazy like that...
Brands... Well, many cylinders are made in China these days, often many different brands sell the same exact cylinder, just painted a different color and/or with a different decal. Paying for a brand name these days has more to do with how they stand behind their product than the quality of the product.
Personally I would buy whatever's on the shelf at the nearest farm store. I have a local chain of stores, Runnings, whose prices on hydraulic cylinders aren't very out of line with what you find online.
Surplus Center has a good selection but they NAIL you on shipping. It can cost you $30 to ship a $50 hydraulic cylinder and because of the new fed laws they have to charge sales tax for your state. $69.99 at Runnings with the farm exemption for sales tax, and you're ahead of the game, with the cylinder in hand, no packing to dispose of.
