Alternator options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This may have been answered in the past, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. What are my options in replacing my alternator, and how much money are we talking for those options? It's a 71 CST, 350/manual tranny. I'm tearing her down pretty much all the way, trying to replace just about everything. Better to get a stock replacement and keep the external voltage regulator, go to a single wire, or go to a 100 amp or better upgrade? If I do any of the latter, will I have to upgrade anything else to go along with it. Brand and source recommendations are also appreciated.
Thanks!
