I currently have the Futaba R153F 3-Channel FM 75MHz, should I just replace it with the same one? Or, is there another one that is a better option.

resolder the wire.

if it broke at the box and you can't solder close enough, open the box and solder the wire.

You can even buy a new receiver wire if you don't want a soldered wire.

Good idea, it ripped off at the top of the Antenna Tube, so I would be able to solder it. Once I solder it, should I shrink wrap it? I lost the part that hangs from the top, so how long of wire should I solder on? I'm assuming a longer wire would be better.

No, the longer wire is not better. An antenna has to be in tune with the wavelength of the signal received.
