I am replacing my alternator. Any suggestions on brand? On eEuroparts.com, there's a "Bosch remanufactured" alternator for 150 with 75 core charge. I'd like to find that part locally, but I don't think that will be possible. O'Reilly autoparts has an "Ultima remanufactured" for 110 with 48 core charge.

Here's a link to the "Ultima" alternator:

Is the Bosch worth the extra cost+shipping and the annoying task of shipping back the old alternator for my 75$ core charge? Though, I don't want something that will fail in a few years if the other one is crap... I have an aftermarket sound system, too.
