New Alternator Recommendations?

Hi guys,

My battery light turned on today. Luckily the symptoms stop there but I'm planning for the worst as I do my research. My voltmeter looks fine and normal at this point and nothing is out of the ordinary so I'm hoping I don't have to replace the alternator although I'm about due (124k miles). I'm going to get my battery tested first and all that jazz that comes along with it.

If in fact I do have to replace my alternator is there any recommendation that you guys can provide? I don't do any offroading so I don't really need any upgrade. I've just seen some go for $150, others in the $350, and some up in the $450 range. I'd like to save some money but I don't want to buy the $150 one then have the same problem 6 months from now. Any opinions or suggestions are welcome.


Thanks!

Have you or anyone else used this alternator? That's an awesome price for a 200 amp alternator. That same seller also has a 250 amp for only $20 more! I think I'll send them a message and see if they can provide more specs like an amps vs. engine speed chart.
