Yup, I'd buy it or plant it rather than eradicate it. Wild rice is way on the beneficial aquatic plant side in my ledger. If you really, really wanted to get rid of it, don't use a herbicide. The collateral damage and cost outweighs manual or mechanical removal.
Sometimes in the pond business I take out of one customers pond what they don't want and put it right back in another customers pond that does want it. Better than buying it.
