For the best answer I have, unless you are building a bone stock 100 point restored truck, it is just easier to manage having it all in one spot (inside the alternator.

You can really clean up a engine bay with less wiring. The internally regulated alternators are less prone to failure as an external design.

Also I think there is more options for amp output than the external style. Although, anything over a 63 amp alternator and the amp gauge does not work correctly. A great reason to purchase one of my volt gauge conversions. Get rid of the amp gauge and have a factory looking volt gauge

Hope this helps,
