It depends on whatever following the phrase "avoir besoin de" + ....

If followed by thing/object --> it's "EN"

ex: J'ai besoin de  vacances --> J'en ai besoin.

If followed by a person masculin --> it's "LUI" (stress pronoun)

ex: J'ai besoin de Paul --> J'ai besoin de lui. 

If followed by a person feminine --> it's "ELLE" (stress pronoun)

ex: J'ai besoin de ma mère --> J'ai besoin d'elle.

 

It will never be replaced by "le or la" because "avoir besoin de" is not a direct object pronoun case. Hope this helps !
