Default 89 GT Alternator

HI,
My alternator stoped working last night and now my battery is dead. I need to change it. I was looking on specialized forums and I saw different amps for alternators(200, 130, 95, 75). Witch one would be okay for my 89 gt and why do you need a big one?

Thanks

A bigger alternator lets you use more electric accessories like a big stereo, electric fan, etc.
I installed a 130 amp alternator from a '94/95 Mustang GT.
