They are both reliable but if you are looking for a gain in HP by doing the conversion don't. You actually lose HP when converting. Why? It takes more power from the belt to spin the alternator to make up for the increased electrical load and the power conversion efficiency of the alternator isn't 100% so you take it in the...uhm...ear.
